Brigon Soot Scale Chart
The Brigon Soot Scale Chart is a precision reference tool designed for professionals and technicians working with oil burners, boilers, and flue systems. It provides a clear, visual method to assess soot deposits and rating, enabling accurate combustion tuning, diagnostics, and maintenance. Whether you're servicing a residential heating system or working in a commercial boiler room, this chart supports best-practice combustion analysis.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Standardized Soot Measurement
The chart displays graduated soot deposit levels—typically ranging across recognized soot density classes - so you can match observed soot accumulation directly against the scale. This allows consistent, repeatable assessments from job to job. -
Clear Visual Markings
High-contrast shading and labelling make it easy to compare soot deposits, even in low light or when used in the field. No guesswork. -
Durable Material
Made from robust materials suitable for workshop or field use (resistant to oil, grime, and general wear). It is built to survive the rigours of a burner maintenance environment. -
Compact & Portable
Small enough to fit in a technician’s toolkit or jacket pocket, yet large enough to provide clear visual comparisons when held up against soot-laden surfaces. -
One-Year Warranty
Covered against manufacturing defects, giving you confidence in long-term use.
Applications
-
Boiler & Burner Servicing
Use the chart during routine burner tuning to evaluate how clean or dirty combustion is, enabling you to adjust air/fuel ratios for optimum efficiency. -
Combustion Diagnostics
Identifying soot severity helps pinpoint issues: poor atomization, improper air intake, fuel quality problems, or burner misalignment. -
Preventive Maintenance
Regular checks with the soot scale chart allow early detection of fouling, soot build-up, or combustion drift - helping you intervene before performance suffers or damage occurs. -
Training & Quality Control
As a standard visual reference, this chart is excellent in training new technicians or in quality control protocols to ensure consistent evaluations across different workers or sites.
Technical / Usage Notes
-
Always view soot deposits in uniform, diffuse lighting to reduce shadows or glare that may mislead your judgment.
-
Hold the chart next to the component or flue surface being judged - never just eyeball from memory.
-
Use in conjunction with flue gas analysers, draft gauges, or carbon monoxide detectors for a holistic combustion analysis.
-
Clean the chart occasionally (wipe with a soft, dry or lightly damp cloth) to maintain clarity of shading and scale.

Delivery Terms
The delivery of a tank can be confusing as each manufacturer offers a slightly different service and lead time. Please refer to our Delivery Information page. Standard tank deliveries are "kerbside", which means the tank will be delivered to the kerb only and not positioned further. Should you have specific delivery requirements or restrictions, please contact us to discuss.
Tanks over 2,500L — articulated lorry, customer offload
These tanks are delivered on an articulated vehicle (approximately 16.5m long × 2.6m wide × 3m high) which has no offloading on board. It is the customer's responsibility to offload the tank, which may require a telehandler or forklift.
Curtain-sided vehicles are also used, so please note that if there are obstacles or overhanging branches on the road to the delivery site, the driver may refuse to drive to the location due to the risk of damaging the vehicle. Please let us know about any obstructions before delivery so we can arrange alternative transport.
18-tonne tail-lift HGV
This vehicle is roughly the size of the largest bin lorries — approximately 8.2m long × 2.6m wide × 4m high, and often curtain-sided. If there are overhanging branches, these vehicles will not attempt the route, so a smaller vehicle should be requested.
Tanks are lowered to the ground but not positioned, as this is a kerbside delivery. If a smaller vehicle is required, email sales@fueltankshop.co.uk quoting your order number and name.
HIAB delivery
HIAB delivery is available but must be requested, and carries an additional cost. Email sales@fueltankshop.co.uk quoting your order number and name, and we'll come back to you with a price.
Accessories
Most accessories are delivered within 1–3 working days. Certain products and postcodes may take longer — check the product page for current information. If you need them sooner we can sometimes offer a next-day service; please contact us to discuss. If an item is out of stock we'll advise the expected lead time, and you're free to cancel for a full refund.
Returns Information
Customers may return items within 14 calendar days, as set out in section 7 of our Terms & Conditions.
All items must be returned unused. Refunds cannot be issued for used or previously installed items.
Please be aware that returning a tank can be complicated and expensive, so do check you're ordering the correct item — we strongly suggest checking the dimensions carefully before you buy.
How to return an item
- Complete the form on our returns page with details of your order.
- Once your request is approved, we'll issue a Returns Authorisation Number (RAN) along with instructions on how and where to return your order, and any costs involved.
