Significance and Use2.1 Capillary moisture in the concrete may be detrimental tothe performance of certain coating systems that cannot toleratemoisture on or within the surface boundary.2.2 This test method is used prior to the application ofcoatings
7、 on concrete.3. Materials3.1 Transparent Polyethylene Sheet, commerciallyavailable, approximately 4 mils (0.1 mm) thick.3.2 Adhesive Tape that will adhere to the substrate. (Ducttape 2 in. (50 mm) wide is suggested.)4. Cautions4.1 This test method shall be conducted when the surfacetemperature and a
8、mbient conditions are within the establishedparameters for application of the coating system.4.2 Avoid direct sunlight, direct heat, or damage to theplastic sheet, as such treatment affects the reliability of theresults.5. Procedure5.1 Tape a segment of plastic sheet, approximately 18 by 18in. (457
9、by 457 mm), tightly to the concrete surface makingsure that all edges are sealed.5.2 Allow the plastic sheet to remain in place a minimum of16 h.5.3 After the allowed time has elapsed, remove the plasticsheet and visually inspect the underside of the sheet and theconcrete surface of the patch for th
