tical tips before commissioning your new testo 270
Prac
Dear Customer,
Congratulations on purchasing your new testo 270 cooking oil tester.
All our measuring instruments are factory tested by us before delivery and
adjusted to their own specific level of accuracy. To ensure a consistently high
level of accuracy, we recommend the instrument is regularly checked.
You have the following options with the testo 270 cooking oil tester:
1 Testo factory calibration according to ISO (accuracy +/- 2% TPM
1
):
You can order an ISO calibration from Testo's calibration subsidiary, Test o
Industrial Services in Kirchzarten, using order number 0520 0028. This
means your testo 270 will be calibrated at two points (at approx. 3% and at
approx. 24% TPM) under precise labor atory conditions.
Furthermore, you have the following options for checking your testo 270 yourself
at any time:
2 with Testo reference oil (accuracy +/- 2.5% TPM
1
):
With the Testo reference oil (o rder no. 0554 2650), you can check the
measuring instrument precisel y and, i f necessary, readjust it (please pay
attention to the description in the instruction manual for this).
3 with the simple function test in cooking oil (accuracy +/- 3% TPM
1
):
For a simple function test without adjustment, we recommend you carry out
a measurement during the commissioning of your new instrument in unused
cooking oil at 150 to 180 °C.
You should ideally carry out this measurement several times in succession
and note the respective readings. The mean value of these readings
represents your specific reference value for subsequent instrument
checking. To use the determined reference value as a comparative value for
a check, always carry out the measur em ent for instrument checking in
unused cooking oil at 150 to 180 °C.
Please make sure that the referenc e value is recalculated if the type of oil or
oil supplier changes.
Your specific reference value:

The testo 270 is a handy measuring instrument for fast testing of
cooking oils.
The TPM value (total polar materials) enables a statement on the
ageing of cooking oils due to the effec ts of heat.
The following measuring tasks can be performed with the testo
270:
• Displaying the temperature of the cooking oil:
Indicator for correct setting of the deep fat fryer, checking of
integrated temperature displays.
• Displaying the TPM value:
Indicator for the ageing of the cookin g oi l.
The sensor works on a capacitive basis and determines as the
reading the total polar materials as a %.
The free fatty acids, which are deter m i ned above all for the
evaluation of unloaded oils (rancidity), cannot be detected with the
testo 270.
The temperature of the cooking oil to be measured must be
at least 40 °C. The maximum operating temperature is
200 °C.
The sensor and the probe tube are desig ned to come into
contact with oil used in deep fat fr yers for the typical
duration of a spot check measurement . The materials used
in these components meet the relevant requirements in the

6.1. General measurement information
The testo 270 enables several meas urements to be carried out one
immediately after the other without any waiting times.
Which oils/cooking fats can be measu red?
In principle, all oils and fats intended for deep fat frying can be
measured.
This includes, for example, rapese ed, soya bean, sesame, palm,
olive, cotton seed or groundnut oil. Fats from animal sources can
also be measured. There may be a variation of several percentage
points in the % TPM value for fresh cooking oils, depending on the
type.
The maximum service life for the cooking oil cannot be derived
from this.
Example: Fresh palm oil has a higher % TPM value than other
cooking oils, but ages considerably more slowly.
Use of additives
The testo 270 is designed for the use of pure fats/oils. If additives
are used, deviations may occur.
Comparison of laboratory methods / testo 270
Cooking oil is a mixture of substances with a wide variety of
polarities. During ageing, the proportion of more highly polar
components increases. The labor atory method of column
chromatography separates the fat into a polar and a non-polar
group. The proportion of the polar group compared to the total
amount of cooking oil being investigated is described as the
% TPM value (total polar materials).
The % TPM value established by colum n chromatography may
vary slightly depending on the s etting of the separation limit
between the polar and the non-polar gro up.
Depending on the type of fat, slight variations of the polarity in both
groups (polar/non-polar) may occur which are not however
identified by the chromatography.
On the other hand, the testo 270 records the entire polarity of the
cooking oil and thus the actual polarity of both groups (polar/nonpolar). This means the reading of the testo 270 may be higher or
lower than that of the column chromatography in individual cases.

Page 22
An example of this is coconut oil, for which the testo 270 shows
WARNING
higher TPM values than column chromat ography. However, this fat
is unsuitable for deep fat frying and is therefore primarily used for
roasting.
Free fatty acids
The testo 270 measures the total amount of polar materials in the
cooking fat (% TPM) which makes it very possible to evaluate the
load of the oil as a result of deep fat frying. On the other hand, free
fatty acids (FFAs) are used for the evaluation of the age of the fat
during storage. FFAs are not suitabl e for identifying the thermal
loads of the oil. FFAs cannot be measur ed with the testo 270.
Polymeric triglycerides (PTGs)
Polymeric triglycerides are als o being used for the evaluation of
cooking oils with increasing fr equency. The results of this method
are in most cases comparable with th e % TPM value.

6.2. Carrying out measurements
Risk of burns due to hot instrument parts (sensor and probe
shaft)!
> Do not touch hot instrument parts with your hands.
> In the event of burns, immediatel y cool the relevant spot with
cold water and see a doctor if necessary.
6 Using the product
Please take note of the following infor mation in order to
obtain correct measurement results :
• T ak e the product being deep fried out of the oil and wait
5 mins until there are no more bubbles rising before
measuring.
• If you sus pect a measurement error due to water being
contained: Repeat the measurement after 5 mins (do
not deep fry during this time, keep o il /fat at a high
temperature). If the new reading is lower, measure
again after 5 mins until the reading s tabilises if
necessary.
• Keep the sensor away from metallic parts (e.g. deepfrying basket, pan walls), as these may affect the
measurement result. Minimum distance from metal
parts: 1 cm on each side.

7.5. Calibrating/adjusting the instrument
You can check the accuracy of your inst rument by carrying out a
comparative measurement with t he Testo reference oil (calibrating).
If there is too great a difference between the reading and the
reference value, future instrument readings can be adjusted to the
reference value (adjusting).
• The testo 270 should be checked with the Testo
reference oil on a regular basis and adjusted if
necessary (accuracy +/- 2.5% TPM)
a monthly check as part of quality assurance.
• We rec om mend you always use the Testo reference oil
for calibration/adjustment of the sensor (order no.
0554 2650, 1 piece).
• T he s ensor is exposed to large temperature jumps and
pollutants while in measuring mode. We therefore
recommend having an annual test carri ed out by Testo
Customer Service. For more information go to:
www.testo.com.
For measurements as part of a quality-assurance concept
(e.g. ISO 9001), we recommend the annual renewal of
a calibration certificate (accuracy +/- 2% TPM
more information go to: www.test o.com
Prepare calibration / adjustment
1. Clean sensor before the calibration/adjustment, see Cleaning
the sensor, page 26.
When heating the reference oil, m ake sure that no water
gets into the reference oil or onto the sensor.
