TESTO’S MULTI FUNCTION VAC GRID MEASURING INSTRUMENT – TESTO 480

In order to be able to guarantee the error-free and energy efficient performance of a VAC system, the correct adjustment of the total volume flow must be proven. Indian incorrectly adjusted system, the indoor air quality deteriorates, which can negatively influence the health of the staff or production quality. This is why is important that in approval testing or when servicing a system, VAC technicians carry out a reliable, but also very complex VAC grid measurement according to EN 2599.Carry out norm-compliant VAC grid measurements – with the multi-function measuring instrument testo 480.With the multi-function measuring instrument testo 480,Testo greatly simplifies VAC grid measurement – offering VAC constructors, assessors and facility managers a guided measurement program for norm-compliant results, as well as a large selection of highly accurate probes for the various requirements of the measurement.

The challenge

Whether a VAC system fulfils the prescribed total volume flow, thus guaranteeing the required indoor climate, must be tested and proven according to the extensive guide lines of EN 12599 in approval testing and when servicing. As the flow profile in the duct rarely corresponds to the ideal shape (laminar/turbulent), and since the velocity profile can be extreme depending on the distance to the next source of interference, a grid measurement offers the safest method of correctly calculating volume flow. However, this form of measurement is very complex, and depending on the shape size of the duct, requires different measuring instrument sand procedures – in rectangular ducts the trivial method, for example, and in round ducts the centroidal axis method. In addition to this, errors are more likely in grid measurement.There are various causes for this, ranging from influences at the measurement location up to errors in the conversion calculations of results.

The solution

With the multi-function measuring instrument testo 480,you conduct VAC grid measurements norm-compliantly according to EN 12599. With an integrated measurement program, the instrument guides you step by step through the entire measurement process, and offers a number of highly accurate probes such as thermal probes, vane probesor Pitot tubes – for low, medium or high flow velocities and different duct shapes. Thanks to the intelligent calibration concept, the probes notify the measuring instrument as soon the next calibration is due. Digital probes can even be calibrated without the hand instrument, allowing the uninterrupted use of the testo 480.

The measurement procedure is structured and simple:

First you enter the necessary parameters, such as duct geometry, distance from the edge or aperture position of the measurement location, into the menu. You then start the measurement program, whose graphic support guides you reliably and quickly through the measurement. The different measurement points in the duct are approached sequentially according to their coordinates. After the end of the measurement, the mean values as well as the uncertainties for flow velocity and volume flow are automatically calculated and displayed. This allows the total uncertainty to be directly evaluated without any additional measurements. With the testo 480, you are prepared for everything, you work quickly, obtain error-free measurement results, and can present them to your customers directly onsite.

testo 480 – all the advantages at a glance

• Guided measurement program for norm-compliant measurements according to EN 12599

• Compete probe range for the various requirements of VAC grid measurement

• Intelligent calibration concept for maximum efficiency

The NEW Cooking Oil Tester Testo 270- Because Every Drop is Valuable

Use of cooking oil which is too old for deep-frying produces inferior quality of food. It may also contain substances which present a risk to health. On the contrary, too early replacement of cooking oil causes wastage.

With the launch of new generation of the proven cooking oil tester testo 270 you can now inspect the quality of cooking oil for producing healthy food even faster. The cooking oil tester testo 270 measures the Total Polar Material (TPM) content in the cooking oil, which is a sure indicator of its quality with best potential of cooking oil between 14 and 20 % TPM. Regular measurement with the testo 270 prevents the use of oil which is too old along with preventing the wastage of cooking oil due to too early replacement thus ensuring the quality of deep-fried foods, and reducing expenditure for cooking oil by up to 20 % and therefore saving cost!

The new cooking oil tester has more robust connections between the housing, the probe shaft and the sensor along with considerably improved probe shaft strength over the previous model. In addition to this, the measuring instrument also fulfils the protection class IP65 even without an additional protective case which makes cleaning it under running water possible – ideal for use in quick-service restaurants. The ergonomic design of the new testo 270 offers an added advantage to the user by avoiding direct exposure to the heat from the deep-fryer while taking the measurement, allowing more safety.

The 86% larger display of the new testo 270 considerably simplifies the reading of temperature and TPM values along with the unmistakeable alarm provided by multi-colour backlighting which makes it even easier to evaluate the quality of the cooking oil; Green means that the TPM content is below the set limit value, orange is close to it, and when the display lights up red, the limit value has been exceeded. 

Ventilation and Air Conditioning Measurement Technology from Testo

VAC measuring instruments from Testo provide the highest level of precision from 0.01 m/s to 9999 m3/h. For any air conditioning and ventilation professional, measuring flow velocity accurately is not easy. Whether for the precise determination of volume flow, quick spot measurements in ducts or recording turbulent flows at outlets – without suitable measuring instruments, it is impossible to ensure optimum indoor air in residential and non-residential buildings

For this reason, Testo offers the optimum solution for every measurement task and measurement range: whether thermal probes, vane anemometers, differential pressure measuring instruments or multifunction instruments. Our patented flow straighteners provide added precision, even in turbulence at outlets. Find information now on how to measure flow velocity more efficiently.

Accurate measurement in ducts

You obtain the most accurate results when you measure directly in the duct. To compensate non-homogenous flows, a grid measurement is recommended. For this purpose, you determine the flow velocity values at several points in the duct cross-section, enter the cross-section dimensions – and your ventilationmeasuring instrument from Testo calculates the mean value and the volume flow for you automatically and reliably.

Precise measurement at outlets

If the ventilation duct is inaccessible, the measurement takes place directly at the outlet. In adjustment work too, the air input and output is tested where the air flows into the room. However, turbulent flows at swirl and plate outlets can severely falsify your measurement results. For this reason, we recommend the use of funnel measuring instruments with a flow straightener (testo 420, testo 417 set 2).

Multifunctional measurement in ducts and at outlets

Multifunction measuring instruments give you as a VAC professional maximum flexibility. The multifunction VAC measuring instruments testo 435-4 and testo 480 can be extended with various probes. In addition to flow velocity, volume flow, temperature and humidity, you measure absolute and differential pressure, light intensity, radiated heat, degree of turbulence and CO2 concentration – with only one instrument.

Secure monitoring of indoor climate values in central functional units in industrial companies – with testo Saveris 2.

As the facility manager of an industrial company, you carry a large responsibility for a number of business critical processes. It is your job to guarantee the technical availability of the systems. If breakdowns of central functional units, such as the air conditioning system, for example, are identified too late, they can cause heat damage to products and machines, resulting in high follow-on costs for the company.

For this reason, the monitoring of ambient parameters such as temperature and humidity is an important indicator for threatening, and already occurring, malfunctions in technical systems. With the automatic WiFi data logger system testo Saveris 2, Testo provides the possibility of measuring ambient data automatically, even at difficult-toaccess locations, and of centralizing them in one system.

Assemblies, air conditioning systems, heating systems, switching cabinets, system components and much more: In order for the overall technical process in an

industrial company to function smoothly, you as the facility manager have to monitor ambient values at many different measurement locations. Some of the measurement locations are difficult to access and are far apart. In a daily business characterized by time-pressure and the processing of malfunctions, it is hardly possible to manage the continuous monitoring of all areas of responsibility which involve a level of risk. This often leads to malfunctions being identified too late. On top of this, as a facility manager you have up to now not been able to be certain of always being right there where you are needed most.

The WiFi data logger system testo Saveris 2, on the other hand, saves the facility manager time, trips and nerves. It very simply assists you in keeping the many measurement locations under control. The alarm function allows roundthe-clock fast reactions to undesired changes in the ambient conditions. For example, temperature measurement on a motor can indicate that it is overheating before an expensive breakdown occurs.

A crucial advantage of testo Saveris 2 is its Cloud-based function. The WiFi data loggers transmit the measurement data automatically by wireless LAN to the online data store (Testo Cloud). The values can be called up anywhere and at all times by PC, Smartphone or tablet. This makes it possible to keep an eye on the temperature and humidity values at the various measurement sites, even in different buildings, without any effort. Bothersome and timeconsuming trips to read out the measurement values are no longer necessary.

Precise measurement of volume flows in public and commercial buildings with the volume flow hood testo 420.

For humans to feel comfortable in a room, the air quality, among other factors, must be ensured. Assuming closed rooms, this quality results from the volume flows of the installed VAC system. In order to respect the regulations for Indoor Air Quality, regular checking of the total volume flow of the VAC system is necessary. It is not uncommon for an air conditioning technician to conduct up to fifty measurements at different air outlets in several rooms.
                    

The extra-light and convenient volume flow hood testo 420 simplifies these measurements enormously. And, thanks to an integrated flow straightener, also allows a more precise measurement result to be achieved at larger swirl outlets.

The volume flow hood testo 420 sets new standards regarding weight and precision. With only 2.9 kg and ergonomic handles, frequent or difficult measurements too, can be carried out comfortably, without inducing fatigue, and therefore safely. And the innovative flow straightener converts the turbulence at the swirl outlets into an almost uniform air flow, leading to a considerably more accurate measurement. In addition to this, the hood records the ambient climate using an integrated temperature and humidity sensor as well as an absolute pressure sensor.
