Field records
Keep the conditions with the result.
A blank CSV for equipment details, measurement conditions, readings and retests. Use your project’s acceptance criteria alongside the record.
A template for observations, not a test certificate
The download contains a header and one empty row. Enter your own measurements and duplicate the empty row for repeats. It contains no example readings or acceptance targets.

| Record group | Fields to keep |
|---|---|
| Identity and context | Record ID, timestamp/timezone, operator reference, equipment model/revision, refrigerant and operating state |
| Measurement setup | Measurement point/boundary, both connection ends, hoses/adapters and ambient conditions |
| Tool and software | Model, serial, firmware, App/OS versions, reference/calibration status, function check and maintenance |
| Observation | Quantity, pressure reference, unit, reading, elapsed time and repeat number |
| Assessment and retest | Acceptance-criterion source, retest conditions/reading and raw-file reference |
Keep original observations separate
Retain the raw App export or photograph where appropriate. Use one row per observation, with the same record ID for a series. State whether pressure is gauge or absolute and preserve the actual unit. A blank or missing value is not zero.
Do not overwrite an original reading with the result after maintenance. Record the change and the retest conditions. If a project has a required official form, this CSV supplements it; it does not replace it.
Protect customer information
Use an internal equipment or site reference instead of unnecessary personal information. The website does not receive or store your completed CSV. The template supplements your project records and is not an official regulatory form.
