Page 24: Testing Concrete Slabs
TESTING CONCRETE SLABS: Moisture meters are an effective tool to check comparative moisture conditions in concrete. They can tell you where there may be excess moisture and help determine if you need to conduct further testing, and identify specific areas on which that testing should be performed. Meters do not provide quantitative results as a basis for acceptance of a slab for installation of moisture- sensitive flooring systems. -
Page 25: Measuring Rh In Concrete Slabs
MEASURING RH IN CONCRETE SLABS IN ACCORDANCE WITH ASTM F- 2170: Navigator Pro can be used to measure the RH in a concrete slab in accordance with the ASTM F- 2170 Standard Test Method for Determining Relative Humidity in Concrete Floor Slabs. - Page 26 Note: Readings between 0.1% and 0.5% indicate a sufficiently dry moisture level. Readings between 0.5% and 1% indicate a borderline situation. Readings greater than 1% indicate material that is too wet for painting or wallpaper. A reading above 1% also indicates enough moisture present to allow mold growth to occur but only if other factors are also present such as a high RH level and food source.
