Testo Pocket Line 606-1/-2
Control of combustion in chimneys: help to avoid the learning of soot and brea in the pipe
With the instrument of measurement of the range Pocket Line Testo 606-1/-2 can measure the degree of humidity in the wood of the leños to burn in the chimneys or homes.
Before burning , the leños for chimneys or homes have to store during 3 or 4 years in a very ventilated place and to save of rain or humidity. Only like this the wood conserves between the 15 and 20% of residual humidity, what provides an excellent heating and a combustion little contaminante.
A wrong combustion using leños humid can cause the learning of soot and brea in the pipe. This sucede when of the products of the combustion give off continuously the brea and the condensed sequipment and adhere to the walls of the chimney. This mass is highly flammable and can burn anytime. It burns it of soot can originate a high learning of gases, and like result, cause flare-ups of big height. The fire propagates quickly in the pipe of the chimney and reach temperatures of until +1.400 °C.
The instrument Pocket Line Testo 606-1/-2 includes characteristic curves memorised for, for example, wood of there is, pícea, larch, oak, pine or arce. It suffices with entering in the wood the electrodes of the top of the instrument and the residual humidity shows to the instant in the visualizador.
