Flue Gas Probe with Pre-Filter for Industrial Engines

This Testo flue gas probe, SKU 0600 7556, is built tough for efficient flue gas measurements on stationary industrial engines, especially diesel. Its integrated pre-filter keeps diesel particulates from fouling your analyser, which is a lifesaver when you're on a dusty mine site or busy industrial yard. You can trust this probe to stand up to the heat, literally, with its all-metal construction.

Running a service call on a genset or a heavy-duty industrial setup often means high temperatures and dirty exhaust. This probe handles it, giving you reliable readings to keep those big rigs running clean and efficient.

Best For

• Australian HVAC techs, industrial mechanics, and power generation maintenance teams working with:
• Flue gas measurement on industrial engines
• Flue gas measurement on catalytic converters
• Flue gas measurement on other industrial installations with high overpressure

Compatibility

Designed to work seamlessly with compatible Testo measuring instruments like the Testo 340 and Testo 350 series. Its robust design is particularly suited for diesel engines due to the integrated preliminary filter.

If you're running a different model, check fittings and specs before ordering.

Features

• Integrated preliminary filter: Permanently welded for protection from diesel particulates, essential for industrial diesel engine work.
• All-metal construction: Prevents melting of the handle from radiated heat when working close to hot exhaust stacks.
• Additional particle filter: Located within the 4-metre hose, offering extra protection against contamination.
• High temperature rating: Withstands flue gas temperatures up to 1,000 °C, suitable for demanding industrial applications.
• High overpressure capability: Designed to operate effectively at probe tip pressures up to 100 mbar.
• Replaceable probe shaft: Allows for easy replacement if damaged or worn, extending the probe's lifespan.

Technical Specifications

What's in the Box

• Stainless steel probe shaft including preliminary filter (335 mm long)
• 2-chamber sampling hose including particle filter (4 m long)
• Probe handle
• (Optional thermocouple and heat protection handle sold separately)

Using It on the Job

1. Connect the flue gas probe to your compatible Testo analyser (e.g., Testo 340 or 350) ensuring all connections are secure and leak-free.
2. Carefully insert the probe shaft into the flue gas duct or exhaust stack, making sure the preliminary filter and probe tip are positioned correctly for sampling.
3. Monitor your analyser readings for temperature, particulates, and gas concentrations, keeping an eye on the probe's maximum temperature and pressure limits.
4. After use, allow the probe to cool. Clean any visible residue from the shaft and inspect the filters for blockage or damage. Replace the particle filter in the hose as needed.
5. Store the probe safely in a transport bag to protect it from knocks and contamination between jobs.

Limitations & Safety Notes

• Always wear appropriate PPE, including heat-resistant gloves, when handling hot probes or working near exhaust systems.
• Ensure the probe is compatible with your specific Testo analyser model and the application's maximum temperature/pressure before use.
• Not designed for continuous long-term monitoring at extreme conditions; check manufacturer guidelines for duty cycles.
• Regularly inspect and replace particle filters to maintain accurate readings and protect your analyser.
• Adhere to all local safety regulations and Safe Work Australia guidelines when performing industrial engine maintenance.

When you're pulling readings off industrial diesel, those particulates can foul up your gear quick. Make sure you regularly check and swap out the particle filter in the hose — it's cheap insurance against expensive analyser repairs.

Pair With

Pair with a Testo 340 or Testo 350 combustion analyser, and consider adding the optional thermocouple for exhaust gas temperature measurement and a transport bag for easy, protected transport.
