I have been cleaning up and sorting on occasion my stuff left over from my career. I had an empty Pelican case so decided to put my testing gear in one place awhile back and had it out today to do a quick test on my refrigerator. This is definitely not all of it, but mostly the smaller stuff that I might need to go chase something down. I picked up Flir thermal camera last year and left space for it in the case, but it came with its own similar case. I just use my bandsaw to cut new openings in the foam as needed and then glue the seams in the foam.
Up top is a collection of type K thermocouples. with some tubing for my manometer and batteries.
Center top is my Kill-a Watt plug in power meter. Quite the handy rig, I wish it had data output so I could log it, but instantaneous and cumulative power is real handy to check out plug in equipment.
Next down is Hobo 4 channel temperature logger, I can plug in 4 thermocouples and custom monitor for long periods of time. It runs on a couple of AA batteries and plugs into my laptop to initialize and download. Hobo sells dirt cheap data logging of almost any parameter. I used to use the large industrial data loggers at work but compared to them, the Hobo is plug and play.
Next down is a digital manometer, great for checking static pressure. Hidden under the black foam packing of the Pelican case is a Dwyer pitot tube for doing velocity traverses with the manometer.
Off to the right is an all in one HVAC tool, nothing fancy but its got a turbine type air flow meter, a basic light meter plus reads temp and RH. It even has a plug in for a remote thermocouple. I used to us it for a first walkthrough an office when someone was complaining about AC. 90% of the time it was crappy balancing or leaky/disconnected flex duct above the ceiling.
Way over to the right is Fluke thermocouple calibrator, I mostly use it taking reading with a thermocouple.
As other things appear, I have room to fit them in.
Other tools too big for the box are a
-Fluke Multimeter with a small assortment of probes and clips
-Fluke Clamp on ammeter
-Flir Thermal Camera
The one device I would like to have is a data logger for watts and collection of Current Transformers (CTs) to be able to log power usage over a period of time.

I also have quite a collection of teflon tubing, some stainless and copper tubing, type K manometer wire and several 60" slack tube manometers. )not much demand for 60" manometers
) . We used to use teflon tubing for testing as it held up to higher temps and didnt collapse.
