ASTM standards for moisture testing concrete

ASTMstandards: "ASTM Standards & Practices for Calcium Chloride Testing The American Society for Testing & Materials is composed of a group of individuals from various professional backgrounds who collaborate to be the foremost developer and provider of voluntary consensus standards. In relationship to concrete floor slab testing, the ASTM has recently published two standards which are to be followed in order to obtain meaningful testing results for the purpose of floor covering and coating installation over concrete slabs. These Standards are property of ASTM and can be purchased for a nominal fee directly from their website using a major credit card. Documents or Standards can be mailed, faxed or downloaded in an Adobe PDF document format. E-1907-04 Standard Practices for Determining Moisture-Related Acceptability of Concrete Floors to Receive Moisture-Sensitive Finishes. F-1869-04 Standard Test Method for Measuring Moisture Vapor Emission Rate of Concrete Sub-floor Using Anhydrous Calcium Chloride. The E-1907-04 document describes all the major tests commonly used for concrete floor slab testing. This includes the calcium chloride test. The F-1869-04 document describes only the calcium chloride test. As of March, 2003 the two documents are being handled by one committee."
