SPRI Prepares Nuclear Moisture Testing Standard for ANSI Canvassing
WALTHAM, Mass. — SPRI announced that it is preparing a consensus based standard on nuclear moisture testing in preparation for American National Standards Institute (ANSI) canvassing.
SPRI’s task force is basing its work on a 20-year-old protocol, “Detection and location of latent moisture of building roofing systems by nuclear radio isotropic thermalization,” which can be found in Appendix E of RCI’s Manual of Practice. The document contains information on proper handling of nuclear based moisture survey equipment in the field, as well as calculating and analyzing survey results.
