Why the testo 420 air flow hood stands tall above the rest

If you've ever bought the knock-off version of a product, you'll understand that it simply can't replace the original.

The testo 420 air flow hood has a lot of competitors, none of which can boast its best-in-class features. Created with facility managers, ventilation mechanics and air conditioning technicians in mind, the air flow capture hood aims to meet every end user's needs, while still accommodating the basic requirements that make it such a valuable instrument.

Let go of the past

Analogue televisions were great until flatter, more vivid technology became widely available. The market for the former nearly collapsed immediately. A similar type of product-driven renaissance is occurring today with many tools.

Take the testo 420 for example, which incorporates a digital display that leverages Bluetooth technology. Not only are the readings more precise than analogue metre flow hoods, but the platform allows technicians to receive real-time data through a proprietary app, create protocols on site and send the measurements to the user's email at the press of a button.

Digitisation is being ushered into every industry with open arms because of its overarching ability to improve outdated methods of work and boost efficiency. Relying on manual processes that accompany analogue metres is counterintuitive as smart building technology becomes a staple for commercial property owners.

Unique capabilities

The hallmark of this disruptive tool is the air flow matrix, which can only be found in the testo 420. By incorporating a flow straightener at turbulent outlets, technicians receive highly precise measurements that are second to none.The testo 420's air flow matrix provides a unique advantage to technicians.

Other advantages include:

• Adaptable control panel that can be tilted or removed.
• Four flow hood sizes available to fit any job requirements.
• Optional tripod for work in hard-to-reach places.
• Ability to measure flow velocity and volume, temperature, differential pressure and relative humidity.
• Two gigabytes of internal memory.

The testo 420 weighs in at just 2.9 kilograms and has an ergonomic design to provide comfort as well as reliability. Gone are the days of carrying around multiple instruments to get one job done.

Whereas many top air flow hoods on the market require customers to request a quote, the testo 420 comes at an affordable price available to everyone. Don't overpay for your tools and not gain access to industry leading technology. Contact a Testo representative today for more information.
