Introduction to Testo Measuring Instruments: An Overview

March 6, 2024 at 2:56 pm, No comments

Testo measuring instruments have a long history dating back to 1957, when Paul Linssen and Dr. Karl-Rudolf Rommelfanger formed the company in Germany. At first, the company concentrated on creating and manufacturing electronic measurement devices, mostly for temperature measurement. A vast array of instruments for measuring different factors, including humidity, pressure, airflow, combustion analysis, thermal imaging, and more, have been added to Testo's product line throughout the years.

Let’s categorize testo measuring instruments. Now, remember that these are not all categories and not all products from testo. But this is a great short introduction of testo measuring instruments.

Workspaces

Whether people feel comfortable in the workplace depends on a variety of comfort-related parameters. In addition, there are legal standard values (e.g., for sound level, luminous intensity, and CO₂) that must be adhered to. Testo's smart measuring technology assists you in determining the degree of turbulence, the indoor air quality, and the level of thermal comfort in accordance with PMV/PPD. This allows you to respond to employee complaints using objective values and to monitor compliance with the standard values at any time. The goal is to create an indoor climate where as many people as possible feel comfortable and can work productively.
