The testo 420 is used for volume flow measurements (main
application), Pitot tube measurements and pressure measurements
for air conditioning and ventilation systems. Thanks to its
interchangeable flow hoods, the testo 420 can be used for air inlets
and outlets of various sizes.
With the additional App (Android/iOS), the readings can be
conveniently displayed on a tablet or smartphone, and in addition a
measurement can be started, stopped and saved via the App.

/ / Measuring mode:
Pressure measurement, Pitot tube, volume
flow (air pressure from above into the hood /
suction outlet)
Actual Actual volume flow:
The current ambient conditions are used to
calculate the volume flow. The actual
barometric pressure is measured with the
internal sensor. In applications with volume
flow hood, the temperature is measured by
the integrated temperature/humidity sensor,
with Pitot tube measurement the actual
temperature needs to be input manually.

Icon Meaning
Standard Standard volumetric flow:
The standard settings for temperature and
barometric pressure (21 °C / 1013 hPa in
accordance with the standard conditions of
the NIST, National Institute of Standards and
Technology) are used to calculate the
volume flow.
K-factor Factor by which the current reading is
multiplied. Depends on which outlet
measurements are being taken at.
Pitot Tube factor The Pitot tube factor for Pitot tubes is
(P-factor) generally the same and must be entered:
• Pitot tubes from Testo: 1.00
• Pitot tubes from other manufacturers: the
Pitot tube factor can be found in the
instruction manual or you should ask
your supplier.
