Specifications

Functions and use

The testo 510 is a differential pressure measuring instrument. It is
normally used to measure small differences in pressure (e.g. to
check filter permeability), gas flow pressure measurement, fine
draught measurement as well as flow velocity measurement with
a Pitot tube.

The measur
position of the measuring instrument. After zeroing, the
position of the measuring instrument must not be changed.
Carry out zeroing before every measurement in order to
compensate faulty positioning or long-term zero-point drift.
Zeroing is only possible in a range of 0...25% of the
measuring range.

The instrument can only be zeroed in the range up to
10 hPa.
