The testo 316-EX gas leak detector helps you to detect gas leaks and ATEX protection means it can also be used in potentially explosive atmospheres. Gas verification and gas leak location can be carried out on gas pipes and installations both indoors and outdoors. When house owners notify the network operator or fitter hat they can clearly smell gas in the house, a highly explosive gas concentration may already be present (4-17%). The fitter has to use a gas detector with ATEX protection for the basic checking of sections of gas pipes for leaktightness or to locate the leak. Because you have to be sure in a hazardous situation that the gas measuring technology being used does not cause an explosion through its own potential ignition sources.
The testo 316-EX gas leak detector offers this ATEX protection (ATEX approval 94/9/EC). Use the multi-range gas detector to detect methane, propane and hydrogen gases. The gas concentrations are measured in the ppm range with a semiconductor sensor and are shown on the display with a resolution of 1 ppm. Flexible measuring probes mean you can search for leaks even in inaccessible areas.
