Includes: testo 316-1 gas leak detector with flexible probe, including bag and batteries.

Reference 0560 3162

Brand Testo

The testo 316-1 is a gas leak detector for the short-term detection of leaks in gas systems. The instrument is not suitable for precise measurement of the gas concentration. The 316-1 uses a traffic-light scale of red-yellow-green. If the warning threshold (100 ppm) is exceeded, the sensor LED and display illumination light up yellow.

If the acoustic alarm is enabled, an additional warning sound is emitted when the warning threshold is exceeded, the frequency of which increases as the concentration increases, and changes to a continuous tone when the second alarm threshold (10,000 ppm) is exceeded.

The following substances can be detected:
Methane CH₄
Propane C₃H₈
Butane C₄H₁₀
Hydrogen H₂
Methane (main component of natural gas) or hydrogen are lighter than air, detection should be carried out above the pipe / suspected leak.
Testing propane and butane gas lines: Propane and butane are heavier than air, detection should be carried out below the pipe / suspected leak, starting from the bottom and working upwards.

FEATURES

Multi-colour LED (visual and acoustic alarm).
Sensor self-test and automatic zeroing.
Flexible probe for accessing hard-to-reach locations.
Display with intuitive traffic light backlighting.
Battery-powered.
Auto-off after 10 minutes of inactivity.

Auto-identification of common gas types
