Calcium Chloride Cement Moisture Test Kit
Accurately Measure Moisture in Concrete Floors
This Calcium chloride cement moisture test kit provides a precise numerical value showing the rate of moisture vapor escaping from a concrete floor over 24 hours. It helps determine if a surface is ready for floor coverings, coatings, or cement toppings. The kit can also verify the performance of vapor control coatings before and after application as a reliable field quality control test.
Calculating Number of Tests Needed
The number of tests depends on the total square footage of the area. According to ASTM F1869, conduct three (3) tests for the first 1,000 ft², then add one (1) test for each additional 1,000 ft². Example: 1,000 ft² = 3 tests | 10,000 ft² = 12 tests.
