Conforms to the guideline 94/9/EG (ATEX)

 Methane: 1 ppm to 2.5 Vol. % CH4

 Propane: 1 ppm to 1.0 Vol. % C3H8

 Hydrogen: 1 ppm to 2.0 Vol. % H2




Proof of gas and leakage localization on gas pipes and installations in indoor and outdoor areas.

The testo 316-EX, which conforms to the guideline 94/9/EG (ATEX), is a multi-range gas detector with Ex protection for the gases methane, propane and hydrogen. The gas concentrations are measured by the semi-conductor sensor in the ppm range and are shown in the display with a resolution of 1ppm.

• Flexible measurement probe for inaccessible pipes

• 1 ppm resolution on display

• Indicator suppression for comfortable locating of the leak

• 94/9/EG (ATEX) conform


Trigger threshold: 1 ppm

Resolution: 1 ppm / 0,1 Vol. %
