Moisture Test Kit - Calcium Chloride Test Kit by VaporGauge

• Used to measure the amount of moisture emitted from the surface of a concrete slab.
• Red Plastic Dome, which makes it easy to see
• Includes Dome, Testing Fluid with dropper, PH Test Strips, and Instructions

In order to successfully do a moisture test you need to start by first grinding a 20in x 20in area to clear the concrete of any contaminants and impurities. Next you take the calcium chloride dish and weigh it and then place it in the center of the grinded area. You then take the plastic dome and place it on top of the dish to simulate an airtight atmosphere. After 60-72 hours, you need to cut the dish out from the dome and weigh it again; the weight gain will then formulate into actual pound

<em>Ammonium chloride</em>,an inorganic compound with the formula NH4Cl, is a white, crystalline solid with a number of uses. It occurs naturally in most volcanic regions, and it can be produced synthetically in an efficient manner.  The mineral is especially common on burning coal dumps (formed by condensation of coal-derived gases), but also on some volcanoes and liquorice. It is the product from the reaction of hydrochloric acid and ammonia.

Ammonium chloride used to be known by its historical name, sal ammoniac or salmiac. The manufacturing of sal ammoniac, the earliest known salt of ammonia, began in Egypt and Europe in about the 13th century.  Mount Vesuvius in Italy is one of the most notable volcanic locations where ammonium chloride is formed naturally.

Medical UsesAs a common ingredient in many cough medications, ammonium chloride is considered a safe, effective treatment and remedy for coughs. Symptoms of an overdose chloride include nausea, vomiting, thirst, headache, hyperventilation and progressive drowsiness. If a large overdose has been taken, a physician should be consulted immediately.

The primary use of ammonium chloride in the medical field is as an expectorant. An expectorant is a drug that stimulates, depresses or modifies the secretion from the bronchial or laryngeal mucus membranes and promotes its expulsion. This simply means that expectorants are used to stimulate the production of phlegm and ultimately cause the phlegm to be coughed up.

Another medical use of ammonium chloride is as a dietary supplement. It is used to help maintain proper pH levels and correct any situation where the blood contains too much alkaline or too much chloride.

Agricultural UsesAmmonium chloride is a combination of two necessary elements for plant growth — nitrogen and chlorine. Both are naturally occurring in the atmosphere and soil, and providing the plants with an extra source helps them reach peak growth and health. When they are deficient, the plant wilts easily, and the leaves turn yellow and brown. Growth is also stunted.

The compound increased crop yields by up to 40 percent over crops with no chloride added. It is also being studied for disease prevention. Tomatoes, beans and peppers were purposefully inoculated with harmful bacteria in an alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride solution by Dr. Kayimbi Tubajika in 2009.

Arizona Silversmith, in Chloride


Image by cobalt123
Silversmith Bob Van Meter, of Chloride, Arizona, in his shop. Mr. Van Meter was a copper miner for about 30 years and then opened his shop in Chloride. He’s a rockhound (my kind of guy!) and my friend and I spent hours, after hours, pouring over his jewelry and rock specimens. Both of us bought jewelry made by this man, and I can tell you I’ve never had such a time trying to narrow it down to which I would come home with. On the counter in front of him, a large view shows the special pieces that Bob is going to custom prepare for my ring and matching earrings. Yeah!

When you hear the word “calcium chloride” what comes into your mind? Probably, you will say that just like other calcium compounds, it is used as an active ingredient on dietary supplements.

However, it is wrong.

Calcium chloride is not advisable to be used as an active ingredient in dietary supplements because of the presence of the element chlorine, which is one of the integral parts of the chemical compound apart from calcium. Instead, it is used on other applications that will be discussed on the later part of this article. But for the mean time, let us first discuss how calcium chloride is prepared.

Preparation of Calcium Chloride

This chemical compound is a by-product of the so-called Solvay process, or also known as the ammonia-soda process. It is a major industrial process employed in producing calcium carbonate wherein the calcium carbonate is reacted with hydrochloric acid, thus producing calcium chloride.

Application

There are millions of tonnes of calcium chloride that are produced in United States alone. It has different applications which are as follows:

* Since calcium chloride is hygroscopic (substances that readily absorbs water from its environment), it can be utilized to dry air and other gases as well. The process involves the conversion of calcium chloride into brine as it absorbs either water or water vapor from the gases that need to be dried.

* Because of the extreme heat involved during the compound’s dissolution, calcium chloride also acts as an ice-melting compound. It is quite harmless on soil and plants compared to sodium chloride. When used for this purpose, it is now of small white balls which are of few millimeters in diameter which is known as prills.

* It is also mixed up with concrete in order to strengthen its mixture as well as to help fast track the initial settings. However, it is not advisable to be used on reinforced concrete since the compound contains chloride ion which is corrosive to steel bars.

* It is also employed on minimizing dust on several highways. Its hydroscopic characteristic keeps the liquid layer on the highway’s surface, which in return holds the dust.

* It is also act as an additive in manufacturing of plastics.

* It is also employed for waste water treatment as a drainage aid.

* Its aqueous form is utilized on the cell’s genetic transformation by enhancing the permeability of the cell membrane. Such process permits DNA fragments to enter the cell.

There are several precautions with regards to exposure on calcium chloride. Since it also contains acidic properties, you must always use goggles and gloves to protect your eyes and hands. Avoid inhaling it or taking it directly into your mouth. Once reacted with water, it can burn your mouth as well as your esophagus.
