DatasheetLeak detection in refrigeration engineering? Sure thing! The testo 316-3 refrigerant leak detector can detect all the most common cooling agents and locate even the smallest leaks. Complies with all important regulations and norms. One piece of kit you as a refrigerant technician won’t want to be without.
testo 316-3 leak detector – benefits at a glance
- Can detect all common cooling agents: CFCs, HFCs, FCs
- Highly sensitive ( < 4 g/a – 1g/a according to DIN EN14624:2012 standard) – can detect even the smallest leaks
- Ready for use – there`s no need to select cooling agent characteristics first
- Automatic zero setting – can detect leaks in rooms that are already contaminated
- Visual and audible alarm which are activated when a leak is detected
- Quick and easy sensor change
- Complies with specifications for F gases regulations, SAE norm J1627 and DIN EN 14624:2012 standard

Applications
Sensor change by customer
The simple design of the testo 316-3 enables the sensor to be changed in just a few seconds and means the sensor is always ready for use.
Tightness testing of refrigeration systems
The testo 316-3 meets all the requirements of the F gases regulation thanks to the high sensitivity of 4 g/a. This means you can find every leakage – no matter whether it involves an R22, R134a, R410a or another refrigerant.
