Testo, the German measurement technology expert, has extended its range of digital measurement solutions with its new Smart Probes.

The innovative, pocket-sized professional measuring instruments can be intuitively operated by smartphone or tablet via a free app. They are suitable for all important temperature, humidity, pressure and flow velocity measurements. Testo also offers special sets to meet the specific needs of refrigeration, air conditioning and heating contractors.

The eight, compact measuring instruments can be connected to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth and conveniently operated via an app. Despite their small format, the Smart Probes are equipped with Testo’s customary professional measurement technology and are suitable for all temperature, humidity, pressure and flow velocity measurements. 

The central operating element of the Bluetooth measuring instruments is the versatile Testo Smart Probes App. The app can be installed for free as an iOS or android version, and offers the user many practical functions, including clear measurement value readout, curve display of the measurement data in graph or tabular form, as well as the dispatch of the measurement data as a PDF report or Excel file. More application-specific measurement menus make working with the Smart Probes even more efficient and allow measurements from up to six Smart Probes to be combined.

The distinct advantage of the new Testo Smart Probes is their ability to provide a practical and cost effective solution for measurement of recent applications. An example of this is the differential pressure gauge, as one product of the range that can be used to measure gas flow and static pressure in order to check the tightness of gas pipes.

Additional possibilities for refrigeration engineers are provided by further probes such as the high-pressure gauge for the installation and service of A/C and refrigeration systems and the automatic calculation of sub-cooling and superheating.
