Q&A

What does the wet bulb calculation feature do?

The wet bulb calculation estimates the temperature that air would have if cooled to saturation by evaporation. This is useful for psychrometric analyses and evaluating cooling effects in HVAC environments.

How accurate are the humidity and temperature measurements?

The testo 605‑H2 offers typical accuracy of ±3 %RH for humidity and ±0.5 °C (±0.9 °F) for temperature readings under normal operating conditions, making it suitable for general indoor climate assessments. 

Can this instrument be used in duct measurements?

Yes, its compact design and attachment clip make it well‑suited for inserting into ventilation ducts or confined spaces to measure air conditions directly at the source.

How long does the battery last?

Powered by three AAA batteries included in the package, the testo 605‑H2 typically runs for approximately 1000 hours, offering extended field use without frequent replacements.
