Light, precise and convenient: the testo 420 Volume Flow Hood significantly facilitates volume flow measurement at larger air intakes and vents. At only 6.4 lbs, it is the lightest volume flow hood on the market. With the integrated flow straightener, the testo 420 sets new measurement precision standards at swirl outlets.
This allows users to complete hygienic Indoor Air Quality and volume flow guidelines and stipulations in ventilation and air conditioning systems quickly and precisely, e.g. in industry, office rooms or in cleanrooms.
What the testo 420 volume flow hood offers you:
Ergonomic: Exceptionally lightweight, weighing less than 6.4 lbs (standard flow hood 24 x 24 inches)
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 reports with the testo 400
In addition to its light weight and the flow straightener, the following features will make your everyday work easier:
Ergonomic handles
Tiltable and removable display
Funnel-shaped tension rod sockets for quick, easy set-up
Soft, carrying case (with wheels) included for safe transport
App integration for smartphones and tablets. Via Bluetooth, these become a second display and a remote control. Optional tripod available for measurements at high ceilings.
Convenient configuration, measurement and documentation as well as simple sending of reports via connection to the testo 400
Light: unique weight of less than 6.4 lbs. You will feel the difference, particularly for frequent measurements.
Precise: air turbulence at swirl outlets is pacified. 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 the measurement values. The removable display allows for pressure and Pitot tube measurements, with corresponding accessories.
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.
With the testo Smart App on your smartphone/tablet, you can expand the capabilities of the volume flow hood.
As an example, you can operate the testo 420 remotely and also manage your measurement and customer data. As an added bonus, reports can be sent directly on site via e-mail.

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.

A sound level meter measures the noise level of HVAC systems, amongst other things. Why is this important? With air conditioning and ventilation systems, it is not just a case of these being correctly set in terms of the volume flows and of rooms having adequate fresh air supply or used air extraction. That is merely the starting point. The voluntary element: the systems not only have to carry out this task in line with the specifications, but also as quietly and unobtrusively as possible. This is where Testo Sound Level meters are ideal. They enable you to quickly determine the extent of the noise pollution from a system.
In addition to volume flow measuring hoods, Testo also offers measuring instruments for air conditioning and ventilation measurements:
Vane anemometers measure flow, airspeed, air temperature, and humidity at outlets or in ducts, amongst other things.
A thermal anemometer works without a vane and is used for the measurement of flow velocity, temperature, and humidity directly in ducts or at outlets.
Unlike a volume flow measuring hood, volume flow meters can often be used as a multi-function instrument. Uses of a multifunctional flow meter include volume flow measurement in ducts/at outlets and determining comfort level or evaluation of illuminance.
