    3. The testo 420 volume flow hood

    Volume flow hood

    Light, precise and convenient: the testo 420 volume flow hood significantly facilitates volume flow measurement at larger air intakes and vents. At only 2.9 kg, it is the lightest volume flow hood on the market. And with the integrated flow straightener, the measuring instrument for volume flow measurement sets new measurement precision standards at swirl outlets.

    This means that users of air conditioning systems can quickly and precisely comply with hygienic guidelines and specifications for indoor air quality and volume flow - for example in industry, in offices or in clean rooms.

    What the testo 420 volume flow hood has to offer you

    • Ergonomic: Exceptionally lightweight, weighing less than 2.9 kg (standard flow hood 610 x 610 mm)

    • High-precision: Flow straightener significantly reduces common measurement errors at swirl outlets

    • Efficient: Fast set-up, easy handling and convenient operation via the testo Smart App

    • Compatible: Measurement, documentation and sending of reports in conjunction with the testo 400

    Advantages of the testo 420 volume flow hood

    • Lightweight: Unique weight less than 2.9kg. You will feel the difference, particularly for frequent measurements.

    • Precise: Air turbulences at swirl outlets are calmed. This allows reliable measurement of the air flow.

    • Flexible: Optional exchangeable hoods for a variety of measuring tasks.

    • Efficient: monitor measuring values and send them by e-mail directly on site via App.

    • Convenient: the tilting display makes it easier to read out the measuring values. By removing the instrument, and with the corresponding accessories, you can comfortably carry out pressure and Pitot tube measurements too.

    • Smart: the App allows you to use mobile devices as a second display or remote control.

    • Compatible: Measure and manage measurement and customer data by integrating the testo 400.

    Volume flow measurement at swirl outlets - the background

    Problem for measuring hood volume flow at the swirl outlet: air turbulence

    Without an integrated flow straightener, the measurement result can be falsified by air turbulence.

    Depending on how the flow hits the instrument, the flow velocities measured are either too high or too low.
