testo 270 is a deep-frying oil tester with a measurement range of 0%-24% TPM and an accuracy of +/-2% TPM. It can be calibrated by Testo factory calibration, Testo reference oil and simple function test.
The testo 270 is a handheld measuring instrument designed for the fast testing of cooking oils. It measures the temperature of the oil and the Total Polar Materials (TPM) value, which indicates the ageing of the oil due to heat effects. The device features a capacitive sensor and an LCD display with illumination.

The temperature measuring range is from 40.0 to 200.0 °C (104.0 to 392.0°F).
The batteries provide approximately 25 hours of continuous operation, which corresponds to 500 measurements without display illumination.
No, the free fatty acids determined for the evaluation of unloaded oils (rancidity) cannot be detected with the testo 270.
