Testo 521-3 Differential pressure measuring instrument

Precise Pitot tube measurement

 

Testo 521-3 is highly accurate differential pressure measuring instruments with an internal sensor.

Testo 521-3 has a measuring range of 0 to 2.5 hPa and records even the smallest pressure differences without difficulty. Its high accuracy and a resolution of 0.1 Pa make it ideal for differential pressure measurements in cleanrooms. In combination with the Pitot tube, the internal sensor measures flow velocities from 1 to 20 m/s. The testo 521-3 is also equipped with two probe inputs for the connection of further probes for the measurement of pressure and temperature.

 

  • Temperature-compensated differential pressure sensor in instrument
  • Additional 2 probe inputs for the connection of further probes for the measurement of pressure and temperature
  • Direct calculation of flow velocity and volume
  • zeroing of display value from pressure probes
  • Display of Hold-, max. and min. values
  • Easy data storage by measurement site as well as analysis, archiving and documentation via optional PC software
  • Point and timed mean value calculation
