What are the key features of multi-function measuring instruments?

Indoor air quality is a wide-ranging subject that affects a variety buildings and situations. This means professionals who deal with ventilation systems, gas heaters, air conditioning units and even construction need to be clued up on the technology in this space.

One of the best ways to measure indoor air quality is a multi-function measuring instrument. By investing in one of these tools, professionals can be confident that during any task – ambient conditions can be tested both accurately and quickly to identify any problems in the atmosphere.

So what are the features of multi-function measuring instruments?

Wide coverage

Just like the name suggests, these devices offer a high-level of flexibility across the fields of climate, indoor air quality and ventilation. Each device comes with interchangeable probes depending on the measuring task.

This means it’s possible to measure a range of parameters including carbon dioxide, temperature/radiation temperature, relative humidity, turbulence, pressure, flow and even luminance. The probes are easy to fit and simple to safely store away until further use.

Once you have inserted the probe into the instrument, the device is set live and capable of collecting data on the given parameter. The clear screen offers readings from up to three temperature probes at once.

Recording

Although it is easy to interpret figures out in the field on these devices, it can be tricky to record data over a long period of time. To assist, many multi-function measuring devices are able to store memory for up to 10,000 readings. This can be helpful to identify whether it’s a continued gas leak or a one-off problem.

In addition, certain devices are bundled with PC software for analysis, archiving and documenting data. By interpreting this information through software, you can present tangible data to building managers and council officials for evidence on indoor air quality.

It is important to note that in some cases, it’s possible to even print measurement data on site with a testo printer. This means readings can be checked on site and any immediate issues can be dealt with.

Different applications

The testo 435 series is available in four versions. Professionals are suggested to get in contact with testo as depending on your field as it is possible to choose from versions with more memory or built-in differential pressure measurement. An extended range of probes and PC software is also available.
