10、. Significance and Use4.1 Use this test method to obtain a quantitative valueindicating the rate of moisture vapor emission from the surfaceof a concrete floor and whether or not that floor is acceptableto receive resilient floor covering. The moisture vapor emissionrate only reflects the condition

11、of the concrete floor at the timeof the test. All concrete subfloors emit some amount ofmoisture in vapor form. Concrete moisture emission is anatural process driven by environmental conditions. All floorcoverings are susceptible to failure from excessive moisturevapor emissions. The moisture vapor

12、emitted from a concreteslab is measured in pounds. This measurement is the equivalentweight of water evaporating from 1000 ft2of concrete surfacein a 24h period. The calcium chloride moisture test has beenthe industry standard for making this determination and is apractical, well-established and acc

13、epted test of dynamic mois-ture. It will produce quantified results directly applicable toflooring manufacturers specifications.

28、rningDo not sand, dry sweep, dry scrape, drill, saw,beadblast, or mechanically chip or pulverize existing resilientflooring, backing, lining felt, or asphaltic cut-back adhesives.These products may contain either asbestos fibers or crystallinesilica. Avoid creating dust. Inhalation of such dust is a

29、 cancerand respiratory tract hazard. Smoking by individuals exposedto asbestos fibers greatly increases the risk of serious bodilyharm. Unless positively certain that the product containsnon-asbestos material, presume it contains asbestos. Regula-tions may require that the material be tested to dete

30、rmineasbestos content. RFCIs recommended work practices are adefined set of instructions addressed to the task of removing allresilient floor covering structures whether or not they containasbestos. When RFCIs recommended work practices arefollowed, resilient floor covering structures that contain (

31、or arepresumed to contain) asbestos can be removed in a manner thatwill comply with the current occupational exposure to asbestosstandards permissible exposure limits (PEL) issued by theOccupational Safety and Health Administrations (OSHA).NOTE 1Various federal, state, and local government agencies

32、haveregulations covering the removal of asbestos-containing material. Ifconsidering the removal of resilient floor covering or asphaltic cut-backadhesive that contains or is presumed to contain asbestos, review andcomply with the applicable regulations.NOTE 2Certain paints may contain lead. Exposure

33、 to excessiveamounts of lead dust presents a health hazard. Refer to applicable federal,state, and local laws and “Lead-based Paint: Interim Guidelines forHazard Identification and Abatement in Public and Indian Housing”6regarding: (1) appropriate methods for identifying lead-based paint andremoving

34、 of such paint, and (2) any licensing, certification, and trainingrequirements for persons performing lead abatement work. (Use onlyqualified of certified lead abatement contractors to remove lead-basedpaint.)7. Procedure7.1 Remove floor coverings or coatings, if present. Lightlygrind an area 20 by

35、20 in. (50 by 50 cm) to produce a surfaceprofile equal to ICRI CSP-1 to CSP-2 (see ICRI TechnicalGuideline 310.1-1997). Grinding should remove a thin layer ofthe finished concrete but not expose coarse aggregate, unlessthe surface had been abrasively treated previously. A vacuumequipped with a suita

36、ble filter and grinder equipped with a dustshroud may be required to reduce airborne dust from grinding.Expose a minimum area of 20 by 20 in. (50 by 50 cm) toconditions specified in 6.1 and 6.2 for a minimum period of 24h prior to starting each test. New concrete and/or concretefloors that have had

37、floor coverings or coatings removed for atleast 30 days prior to testing can be ground and tested withoutthis waiting period, provided the conditions of 6.1 have beenmet.7.1.1 Weigh the dish of anhydrous calcium chloride, includ-ing the tape used to seal the container, the container lid, and the6Ava

Measurethe length and width of the plastic cover between the inside ofthe flanges, and multiply to obtain the area. Measure thebottom of the dish containing the CaCl2to obtain the radius. Tocalculate th

40、e area of the dish, use the following equation:A 5pr2(1)where:p = 3.14Deduct the area of the dish from the area of the transparentcover. Record this as the actual test area. This will be used tomake the final calculation at the end of the test.7.2 Apply the sealant to the flanges of the transparent

41、coverin a continuous bead. If the sealant has been preinstalled by thekit manufacturer, expose by peeling off the protective covering.The purpose of the sealant is to form an airtight seal around theperimeter of the transparent cover.7.3 Carefully remove the sealing tape from the calciumchloride dis

42、h, if provided, and attach it to the side of thetransparent cover. This tape will be used again to reseal thedish. Remove the dish lid and invert it under the dish. Set thedish (in the inverted lid) onto the concrete surface.(CautionDo not spill any of the calcium chloride from thedish. If spillage

43、occurs, discard the dish and perform the testwith a new dish of anhydrous calcium chloride.Immediately place the transparent cover over the calciumchloride dish. Firmly press down on the covers flangescompressing the sealant providing an airtight seal around thecover.7.4 After test has been in place

44、 for 60-72 h, remove theplastic cover. It may be best to cut the top open with a razorblade so the dish can be easily retrieved. Replace the lid on thedish and immediately reseal using the original sealing tape.Immediately reweigh the sealed container. Record the newweight, the date, and time the te

45、st was stopped. Record wheretest dish will be weighed if re-weighing is not performed at thetest site.NOTE 3If test dish is to be return-mailed for results, immediatelyplace in mailing bag ensuring bag is properly sealed. Follow mailinginstructions provided with kit.7.5 The formula for computing moi

46、sture vapor emissionrate (MVER) is as follows:MVER 524 000DM453.612AT552.91DMAT(2)where:MVER = moisture vapor emission rate, lb/1000 ft2/24 h,DM = change in mass (weight gain) of anhydrous CaCl2in g,A = contact area of the flanged cover on concrete inft2deducting the area of the CaCl2dish, andT = ex

47、posure time in hours.7.6 To convert test results to SI, multiply by 56.51 to obtainresults in g/(s m2).7.7 Use the following guidelines to determine the number oftest locations to be utilized simultaneously.7.7.1 Three test locations for areas up to 1000 ft2(100 m2).7.7.2 Add one additional test for

48、 each 1000 ft2(100 m2)orfraction thereof.NOTE 4When conducting moisture emission tests, the test unitsshould not be concentrated in an area but shall be located in various partsof the floor area. Tests shall be placed using the testing agents judgmentto represent areas of potential concern including
