peer agreement (net): +2carbide bomb Explanation: The old carbide bomb test, (moisture test) which I used in the field many years ago. The Calcium Carbide test is carried out using a ‘carbide bomb’ meter, which is a flask like device with a pressure gauge on the bottom. It is used widely in Europe and so it is common to find specifications related to this test, in most cases the readings from this meter should be less than 2.5 (according to DIN standards) for the concrete to be considered dry for flooring purposes Reference: http://www.tramex.ie/About_Tramex.aspx?SID=3&SSID=51&ID=119 |
