testo 514 - Refrigerant Leak Detector with Flexible Probe
Track down refrigerant leaks with less disruption to your service routine. The testo 514 refrigerant leak detector gives air conditioning and refrigeration engineers the sensitivity to find small leaks and the flexible reach to investigate awkward pipework and connections.
With detection down to 3 g/year and no need to select a refrigerant type, it keeps checks simple across a wide range of AC/R systems. Pinpoint the problem, plan the repair and help limit further refrigerant loss.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Does the testo 514 detect R290 refrigerant?
A. Yes. R290, also known as propane, is included among its supported refrigerants.
Q2: What does 3 g/year sensitivity mean?
A. It is the stated minimum detectable leak rate in High mode, expressed as grams of refrigerant lost per year.
Q3: Can the refrigerant sensor be replaced?
A. Yes. The replaceable sensor allows you to maintain the instrument without replacing the complete detector.
