September 16, 2015—Of interest to facilities managers overseeing a renovation or construction project involving concrete floor slabs, Wagner Meters is now offering the recently updated online course, “Moisture Testing of Concrete Floor Slabs.” This training Webinar is especially designed for contractors and flooring installers, and is presented by Howard Kanare, a leading expert in concrete moisture issues.
The educational Webinar is said to provide critically important scientific information to contractors and installers for ensuring success with each flooring installation. Wagner says the information included in this free Webinar is already changing the way moisture testing of concrete slabs is viewed.
In addition to providing the most up-to-date information on accurate moisture testing of concrete slabs, the one-hour Webinar includes a live question-and-answer session. Each course participant can direct questions to a representative from Wagner Meters, a world leader in concrete moisture measurement.

Wagner Meters had previously announced a soon-to-be released laboratory study, utilizing six different manufacturers’ relative humidity testing equipment and overseen by an ASTM task group, that Wagner says offers two breakthrough findings that will prove immensely useful for anyone who utilizes the company’s Rapid RH testing method for their projects.
According to the Precision and Bias (P&B) study, users of ASTM-compliant Rapid RH measuring devices for concrete slabs can be certain that the readings they see at 24 hours are essentially the same as the ones they will see at 72 hours, giving the knowledge whether the slab’s moisture profile is in line with the finished flooring products’ specifications or that there is a need for some form of moisture mitigation.
These results confirm the accuracy of in-situ Rapid RH moisture measurement and underscore the speed with which relative humidity (RH) testing allows flooring professionals to move forward with their projects. The 24-hour equilibration finding in particular means they have the data they need a full 48 hours in advance of their final mandated reading.
