Thursday, January 3, 2013

---

True or false: The anhydrous calcium chloride test for measuring moisture in concrete slabs is a qualitative rather than a quantitative test.

Monday, July 9, 2012

---

True or false: The most accurate meters for detecting moisture within a concrete substrate are based on readings of temperature and humidity.

Tuesday, December 20, 2011

---

True or false: Both relative humidity and temperature differentials from one side to the other can drive moisture vapor through a block wall.

Monday, February 14, 2011
