Roof Sampling – Slits
Know whether minimum or average mils is spec’d
Determine
Minimum thickness
Average thickness
Don’t consider any thickness reading >120% of
spec’d minimum or average
i.e. if 30 mil avg. is spec’d, and 45 mil is found it would
be ignored since 36 mils is 120%

Roof Sampling – Slits
Slit samples read immediately and note where DFT
is less than spec’d.
Where thin coating is found, take 4 more in a 5 ft.
radius
If additional slits are thin, 4 more slits are taken in a
10 ft. radius.

During Application
Verify climate and substrate condition
Use appropriate spray technique for foam and
project
Check foam quality, thickness and yield regularly
Anticipate climate changes
Stop if foam exhibits unusual characteristics
![Page 86: QUALITY CONTROL SPF ROOFING - sprayfoam of Quality Control... · QUALITY CONTROL SPF ROOFING ... The comments and opinions in this presentation do not ... Roof plan –locations](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042707/5a75d67f7f8b9aa3688ccffc/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
Substrate Preparation
(Concrete)
Allow “green” concrete to cure 28 days
Use degreasers and/or acid etcher to obtain a
contaminant free surface suitable for foam
application
Primers may be needed on some concrete surfaces
(Note: the rougher the better)

Substrate Preparation
(Metal)
Clean, dry surface
Remove contaminants
Ferrous metal requires rust inhibiting primers (prepare surface in accordance with SSPC painting guidelines)
Galvanized metal requires acid etching (vinegar)
Polished aluminum, stainless steel require adhesive primers

Substrate Preparation
(Wood)
No more than 18% moisture content
Clean & dry surface
Primer typically not required for interior
applications
Do not mask face of studs or use release agent
