Surface condition plays an important role in determining the required deposit thickness and good field performance.

The deposit thickness does not achieve a constant value.

In making a comparison with conventional zinc plating, deposit thickness must be considered.

At this point, the deposit thickness remains constant with time (a horizontal asymptote).

Increasing the deposit thickness can minimize this effect.

Land rehabilitation after ash fall may be possible depending on the ash deposit thickness.

The minimum half-pitch corresponds to the deposited thickness of the sacrificial feature.

Deposit thickness (μm) and porosity (%) are also often used for description of fouling amount.

The results of neutral salt spray exposure, phosphorus content and deposit thickness are summarized in the table below:

With progressive aggradation, the deposit thickness is related to sedimentation rate and duration and not to current thickness.

Secondary or derived outputs include flow velocity, and such field-observable quantities as run-up height, deposit thickness, and inundation area.

When visual inspection needs to be validated numerically, a vacuum test (VT) or deposit thickness test (DTT) can be performed.

The deposit thickness of ash and other eruptive material ranges from 15m close to the vent to 50 cm around Avellino, as well as creating a subaquaeous debris-flow in the bay of Naples.

If under-deposit or crevice corrosion is of primary concern, it is important to note non-uniformity of deposit thickness (e.g., deposit waviness), localized fouling, packing of confined regions with deposits, creation of occlusions, "crevices", "deposit tubercles", or sludge piles.

A Hong Kong standard lists surface deposit limits of 1g/m for supply and return ducts and 6g/m for exhaust ducts, or a maximum deposit thickness of 60 um in supply and return ducts, and 180 um for exhaust ducts.
