How many gallons of water are present in a basement that
measures 30' x 25'
where the water is standing at a depth of 6'9". Formula: (L * W
= ft² * depth of
standing water = ft³ * 7.48 = total gallons). - ANSWER-37,867.5
gallons. (30' *
25' = 750 ft² * 6.75 ft = 5062.5 ft³ * 7.48 = 37,867.5
gallons)
The most effective way to speed the drying process is to
remove as much of the water in a liquid state as possible
during the __________ phase (for example, multiple
extractions). Poor extraction will significantly slow the drying
process. - ANSWER-extraction
Given the floor-covering examples below, choose which
example would be most difficult to extract: 45 oz olefin multi-
level loop Berber with 8-pound bonded polyurethane cushion,
,35 oz nylon cut-pile (direct glue down), 45 oz polyester cut-pile
with 6-pound bonded polyurethane cushion. - ANSWER-Most
difficult: 45 oz olefin multi-level loop Berber with 8-pound
bonded polyurethane cushion. (The 45 oz olefin multi-level loop
Berber with an 8-pound bonded polyurethane cushion is the
most difficult to extract because the tightly looped Berber
fibers hold onto water more stubbornly, and the olefin material,
while water-resistant, can trap oils and other substances,
complicating the drying process. Additionally, the thick 8-
pound cushion beneath the carpet retains water more
effectively, making the overall extraction much more labor-
intensive compared to the other options.)
Given the floor-covering examples below, choose which
example would be easiest to extract: 45 oz olefin multi-level
loop Berber with 8-pound bonded polyurethane cushion, 35 oz
nylon cut-pile (direct glue down), 45 oz polyester cut-pile with
6-pound bonded polyurethane cushion. - ANSWER-35 oz nylon
cut-pile (direct glue down). (The 35 oz nylon cut-pile (direct glue
down) would be the easiest to extract because it lacks a
cushion underneath, which means there's no additional layer to
hold onto water. Nylon fibers are also more resilient and easier
to dry compared to olefin or polyester. Since the carpet is
directly glued to the subfloor, there's less material to absorb
and retain moisture, making the extraction process faster and
,less complicated than the other options with cushioned
backing.)
________ ________ is defined as the amount of moisture
contained in an air
sample, as compared to the maximum amount the air
could hold at that
temperature. - ANSWER-Relative
humidity
In the restorative drying industry the weight measurement used
to measure water vapor air is grains per pound of air,
abbreviated as GPP. This is called
________ _____. - ANSWER-humidity ratio
___ _____ is the temperature at which air becomes saturated
with moisture
vapor, or can hold no more water vapor. -
ANSWER-Dew point
when air is cooled its capacity for water vapor is reduced,
eventually If temperature is cooled enough, the relative
humidity will reach ____% or
saturation. when this occurs the air has reached its ___ point
temperature. -
, ANSWER-100;
dew
if surfaces are ______ than the dew point of the surrounding air
water will condense on those surfaces and possibly cause
secondary damage if surfaces are ______ than the dew point of
the surrounding air evaporation can occur - ANSWER-cooler;
warmer
_____ ________ is the force exerted by a gas (vapor
molecules) on the
surrounding environment. - ANSWER-
Vapor pressure
Vapor pressure, dew point and humidity ratio (GPP) are
________ _______ to each other. When one increases the other
two ________ When one decreases, the other two ________. -
ANSWER-increase; decrease
Water vapor pressure is the force that drives higher
concentrations of humidity
from one space to another in attempt to seek
___________ with lower
concentrations of water vapor. - ANSWER-
equilibrium
