Testo AG testo 270 cooking oil sensor

Testo AG has introduced its testo 270 - a sensor for testing total polar materials (TPM) and temperature measurements in cooking oil.

The device measures whether cooking oil is still within the optimum range or whether it needs changing. The Auto-Hold feature - an automatic final value recognition - provides an audible signal once the measurement has been calculated.

The percentage value is clearly displayed on a backlit display, while an alarm bar based on the traffic light principle shows the status of the cooking oil: green means it falls within the optimum range, yellow means it is still acceptable and red means it needs to be changed. Users can adjust the limit values depending on individual quality requirements.

In addition to the TPM measurement, the testo 270 also has a temperature warning system that is triggered when the oil temperature exceeds 190°C.

To allow rapid testing, the sensor has been designed to be rapid, even when only a small quantity of oil is present, such as in flat fryers. It also has a metal cover and is laminated with a protective layer to protect the sensor from breaking and scratching. The sensor is watertight due to a TopSafe protection case, which can be easily removed and is dishwasher-safe. An optional handstrap is also available.
