The Testo 316-3 is our best refrigerant leak detector yet, that delivers dependable, rugged performance at a great value. The proven heated diode sensor provides great sensitivity down to 0.15 ounces/year including the new refrigerant blends like R-410A, R-407C, and R134-a, allowing you to find the most refrigerant leaks. 
  • Patented heated diode sensor provides
    excellent sensitivity 
  • High/low sensitivity adjustment and automatic zeroing 
  • Our best refrigerant leak detector suited to find most refrigerant leaks
  • Easy one button operation 
Just turn it on and start getting readings immediately to find the most refrigerant leaks. Thanks to the automatic zeroing, the Testo 316-3 is extremely fast and can be used even in previously contaminated areas, making it our best refrigerant leak detector yet. The 316-3 has an LED indicator, automatic zeroing, and audible alarm, all in a rugged housing.

testo 316-3 leak detector – benefits at a glance
