Moisture Test Kit

Moisture Test Kit for Calculating Vapor Emissions

Alpha® has recognized the growing concerns of floor covering industry professionals which involves the condition of the subfloor and most specifically, the “invisible” moisture emission and its effect on the finished layer. The Alpha® solution for this is the “Moisture Test Starter Package”. This kit includes an Ecogrinder, to prepare a virtually dust-free concrete slab surface without a vacuum, a Calcium Chloride Moisture Test Kit (5 packs) and a Digital Scale. According to ASTM F 1869, the moisture test is a required process for any commercial floor covering installation. Although the general contractor, the builder, or the owner should be the responsible party for random Calcium Chloride tests, a tile contractor should take the proactive steps to perform the test for the additional revenue and peace of mind.

Alpha Professional Tools® is proud to introduce a new HSG-125 High-speed Angle Grinder. This 5” grinder has a powerful 7.2 Amp (800W) motor with 9,700 rpm. The HSG-125 is equipped with a standard 5/8” spindle and two sets of flange/lock nut sets (7/8” and 20mm arbors) in order to accommodate 4”, 4-1/2” and 5” diameter blades. The new Alpha® HSG-125 is versatile and can be used wet or dry. Use the HSG-125 as a dry application, and combine the grinder with the optional, Alpha® Ecoguard system, to create a dust-free operation eliminating unnecessary cleanup. The Ecoguard comes in two types: Type C for cutting or Type G for grinding. It can also be equipped with the optional Alpha® Universal Safety Guard Kit (GCWKIT), for use with an Alpha® Groove Cutter for wet applications. The Alpha® HSG-125 is more than just a grinder, it is the ultimate workhorse for Stone Fabricators and Tile installers!
