Description
testo 316-3 – Refrigerant Leak Detector
The testo 316-3 is a reliable instrument for detecting refrigerant leaks that will take a worthy place among the tools of refrigeration specialists. Thanks to its high sensitivity, the instrument can detect the slightest leaks; furthermore, it complies with the requirements of the EU F-Gas Directive, as well as the SAE J1627 and EN14624 standards.
To start measurements, you only need to turn on the instrument – no preliminary configuration or selection of characteristic curves is required. Thanks to the automatic zeroing function, the testo 316-3 can detect refrigerant leaks even in rooms with heavily contaminated air.
Checking the Tightness of Refrigeration Systems
The testo 316-3 meets all the requirements of the F-gas regulation, thanks to its high sensitivity of 4 g/year. This means the possibility of detecting any refrigerant leak, be it R22, R134a, R410a, or any other refrigerant.
User-Replaceable Sensor
The simple design of the testo 316-3 allows the sensor to be replaced within a few seconds and ensures the sensor is fully ready for operation.
