testo 316-EX, Electronic gas leak detector testo 316-EX

Includes batteries, case, hex key, and factory calibration certificate

Approved according to ATEX (94/9/EC)

Flexible measuring sensor for hard-to-reach areas

Can detect 3 different types of gas: methane, propane, and hydrogen

The testo 316-EX gas leak detector helps you locate gas leaks, and thanks to its ATEX protection, it can even be used in potentially explosive areas. Gas detection and leak detection are possible on both indoor and outdoor gas pipelines and installations.

When checking gas pipeline components for leaks or detecting a gas leak, a gas detection device with ATEX protection must be used. This is because, in a hazardous situation, it is essential to ensure that the gas measuring technology used does not trigger an explosion due to its own portable ignition sources.

This ATEX protection is provided by the testo 316-EX gas leak detector (ATEX approval 94/9/EC). The multi-range gas detection device can identify methane, propane, and hydrogen. Gas concentrations are measured by a semiconductor sensor in the ppm range and displayed on the screen with a resolution of 1 ppm. Thanks to its flexible measuring sensor, gas leak detection can be performed even in hard-to-reach areas.
