Commercial gas analyser ?

[on31ll]

What one do you guys use ? And is there a big difference in the commercial one and the domestic ones ? I have taken on a lad who is newly commecial gas and me/the business is buying the flue gas analyser. He says he likes te testo ones so been looking at them and there is a domestic and a commercial one ? While reading i cant find a distinct difference although he assures me i need to get the commercial one. So basically what ones do you commercial lads use and does it have to be commercial or are the they same ?

I use the Kane 455.

That sounds good enough for me ! Ive just googled the kane and its the same features as the domestic testo ! Im happy to get the testo because if that what he uses then it makes him wuicker etc ! But he owns his own fga ? Sounds like hes having me off maybe ! Dont think this is going to last long !

They do the same thing. You can get high range analysers and low range analysers. Low range is suitable for most boilers domestic and commercial. Use the high range when combustion is very bad so this might be for forced draught burners when they are burning very badly. So it depends on what type of work your doing. Low range suits most of the average stuff.

But commercial say high range can be used for domestic too ?

 

[Reg Man]

Yes no problem with that. Just that they read CO in % terms, which is confusing to some and difficult. 100ppm = 0.01% so some high rangers don't give you a close enough eligable reading.

Seems the testo is steep compared to kane especially commercial one

If it will be used for catering then it will have to be one that measures Co2 directly in ppm such as the kane 100.
