Rugged temperature calibrator ideal for the field
Designed for process instrument technicians, the Fluke 724 Temperature Calibrator can test and calibrate almost any temperature instrument.
Thus, the temperatures can be stored, presented graphically and analysed, and the photographic images can be displayed on screen for improved documentation and maintenance follow-up.
The 576 measures surface temperatures, helping to quickly locate lubrication problems, overloads, short-circuits or misaligned and overheated equipment, reducing work and follow-up time, and improving performance.
The Fluke 576 precision IR thermometer, featuring a true dimension laser sighting system for precise targeting, is one of the most advanced of its type on the market for accurate condition monitoring and analysis.
It measures temperatures between -30 and +900C to a 0.1C resolution with a very fast response time and a distance to spot ratio of 60:1.
Features include max/min readings, difference and average readings, and audible alarms for high and low readings in comparison to 30 preset levels.
A bargraph on the backlit LCD screen displays the last 10 readings.
Accurate sighting is ensured by a three-point extra-bright coaxial laser system with adjustable emissivity that highlights the centre and edges of the measurement spot, and a standard thread base enables tripod mounting if required.
Options include a close focus model with a minimum spot size of 6mm and distance to spot ratio of 50:1.
The Fluke 576 is supplied with Windows-based software and compatible data cable, and a type-K thermocouple probe.
It comes in a durable hard case and is available from Fluke authorised distributors. Request a free brochure from Fluke (UK) ...
