The testo 310: Precise Flue Gas and Combustion Analysis
Ideal for heating system inspections, maintenance, and safety checks.
Accurate Gas and Temperature Measurement
The testo 310 features dual measurement cells for O2 and CO, plus an integrated temperature sensor in the flue gas probe. It captures exact oxygen and carbon monoxide levels along with flue gas and ambient temperatures.
Smart Data Calculation and Display
From these readings, the device calculates CO2 content, efficiency, and flue gas losses. Its intuitive menu, backlit display, and dirt-resistant keypad make readings easy and reliable, even in low light or with one hand. Fuel types are fully described, and symbols for measurement menus remain visible at the display top for clarity.
Applications:
• Flue gas measurement • Draught measurement • Ambient CO measurement • Pressure measurement
Draught Measurement in the Flue Gas Duct
Draught measurement is essentially differential pressure measurement between flue gas and ambient air. Proper chimney draught ensures safe gas transport and optimal boiler efficiency. Too high draught increases flue gas temperature and losses, while too low reduces oxygen, causing soot, CO, and efficiency drops.
Ambient CO Measurement
Carbon monoxide is a colourless, odourless, and toxic gas formed during incomplete combustion. Regular CO checks in heating systems and surrounding areas help prevent poisoning and ensure safety.
Flue Gas Parameters of the Burner
Measuring CO, O2, and temperature determines pollutant output and energy losses. Compliance with local regulations ensures minimal environmental impact and optimal energy use. Measurements are usually taken at the pipe center using a Lambda probe and can be logged for reporting or analysis.
Pressure Measurement on Burners
Gas flow and resting pressures are checked during service. Flow pressure outside the 18–25 mbar range indicates the burner must not operate to avoid malfunctions or safety hazards. Data sheet
