One of our own, Kyle Chilcote, has been going through some Physical Therapy for some ATFL (Anterior Talo-Fibular Ligament) Damage recently. He's taken advantage of his unfortunate situation by learning more about SEO (Search Engine Optimization)! Kyle says, "It has really helped me in understanding the frustrations that all SEO specialists have. Especially when it comes to all of the things that should be thought of prior to a web page coming into existence." He has suggested brushing up on SEO terms is very helpful. Especially, "For anyone else who also has the urge to make sure that an employee or vendor is set up for success prior to a project." If anyone is interested in what he was using to learn. He was following along with the Simplilearn free youtube videos! The playlist link is below.#learning #searchengineoptimization #success #vaporintrusion #vaporpin ... See MoreSee Less

NEW - Tygon Connectors!The Vapor Pin® Kit is designed to make your use of our products a success each time. However, one item was previously not included - the connector to match the barb fitting to the sample train. From this point forward, our kits will include Tygon connectors to bridge the distance between your sampling train and the Vapor Pin® Sampling Device. You may also purchase a bag of Tygon connectors separately or in 5 foot lengths.https://www.vaporpin.com/product/tygon-connectors-10-pieces/ ... See MoreSee Less

Pressure Field Extension Testing

Using Vapor Pin® sampling devices for Pressure Field Extension Testing
Vapor Pin® sampling devices are widely used for Pressure Field Extension (PFE) tests of radon and vapor-mitigation systems. The PFE test (also called a “Suction Field Extension Test” or “Communication Test”) ensures that a sub-slab depressurization (SSD) system creates sufficient vacuum everywhere beneath a floor. PFE testing is essential for proper system design and installation, and periodic testing in subsequent years verifies that the SSD continues to operate within specified limits. A common approach to measuring subslab vacuum is to drill a hole in the slab, jam a manometer into the hole, and take a reading, while running a radon fan or shop vacuum at the suction pit. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to form a tight seal between the manometer and the slab, and the test hole cannot be left open for subsequent testing.

A better approach for PFE testing is to measure the sub-slab vacuum through a Vapor Pin® sampling device. The Vapor Pin® sampling device provides a tight seal against the slab, and with the Vapor Pin® Cap in place, prevents the loss of soil gas to indoor air. The Vapor Pin® sampling device can be left in place indefinitely for subsequent measurements, or removed and reused elsewhere. For radon testing, the Vapor Pin® sampling device can be reused by simply cutting off and replacing the silicone sleeve between holes. For vapor-intrusion use, the Vapor Pin® should also be decontaminated before moving it to a different location.

For conducting PFE tests during pilot testing, the Vapor Pin® sampling device can be installed in the stick-up configuration, which requires drilling a 5/8-inch diameter hole in the slab. If the Vapor Pin® will be left in place for subsequent testing, it is typically installed in the flush-mount configuration, so that it doesn’t pose a trip hazard. The flush-mount installation requires drilling a 1-1/2 diameter inch hole and a 5/8-inch diameter hole. The flush-mount Vapor Pin® sampling device may be covered with the Stainless Steel Secured Cover, which reduces the risk of tampering, or a black plastic Flush Mount Cover, which is more economical. We recommend using brass Vapor Pin® sampling devices for one-time use, such as pilot testing, and stainless steel Vapor Pin® sampling devices if points will be left in place for subsequent testing.
