Using the pump

Sampling to BS EN 15780 and TR19

The European Vacuum Test method is advised in BS EN 15780, as well as TR19, as the most suitable method for post clean verification of HVAC systems. The pump is used to perform European Vacuum Test (PVT/EVT) sampling with a vacuum test capsule. The capsule is then sent in to our independent laboratory for weighing and analysis. Capsules are sold separately to the vacuum test pump. PVT/EVT sampling is also used for HVAC system inspection to assess whether cleaning is required. All capsules should be sent off to our laboratory along with an analysis request form which will include all of the relevant project details for the laboratory.
