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.
Features
- Easy to use gauge: Features a large display screen and on screen user instructions
- Low cost and portable: Supplied in a convenient carry case for use in the field
- Duct Cleaning Template: For accurately marking the area to be tested ensuring that before and after readings are taken in the same test area
- ElcoMaster software, supplied as standard with the Elcometer 456 Duct Deposit Measuring System, includes a template designed specifically for reporting duct deposit measurements
