Overview

Controlling ducting deposits and monitoring their build up is essential to maintain hygiene standards and reduce fire risks in heating and ventilation systems.

The Elcometer 456 Duct Deposit Measuring System has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of the DTT (Deposit Thickness Test) in Appendix D1 the HVCA’s (Heating & Ventilation Contractor’s Association) TR19 Guide to Good Practice, for the Internal Cleanliness of Ventilation Systems.

By using the Elcometer 456 Ferrous Top Gauge with the specially designed F1D probe and duct cleaning template, readings can be taken of the deposit thickness on a specific test area, before and after cleaning.
