Fluke 572-2 – Must Have Infrared Thermometer

 

When most people think of a thermometer, they visualize a common probe-style thermometer that measures the temperature of an object by inserting itself into it. However, as thermal detection technology advanced, another temperature-measuring option known as an infrared thermometer emerged and has been widely used in a variety of fields, including electrical systems and circuit boards, automotive, HVAC, cooking, manufacturing, and medical applications. With the recent outbreak of the 2019-nCoV coronavirus pandemic, public officials and health care personnel have used infrared thermometers more widely to quickly and accurately measure the body temperature of a large number of people in public places.

 

 

An infrared thermometer is a handheld temperature measuring device used to measure the surface temperatures of an object or area without touching it. Its non-contact nature is due to the use of a built-in laser, which allows it to acquire the surface temperature of a specific object while making no contact with that object. The infrared thermometer will display the temperature reading on the indicating screen after scanning an object or area. The Fluke 572-2 infrared thermometer is one of those products that can be used in high-temperature industrial environments worldwide. Whether you work in power utility, metal refining and smelting, glass, cement, or petrochemical environments, the new 572-2 enables you to carry the most trusted name in test tools wherever accurate, high temperature, and high distance-to-spot measurements are required.

Fluke’s 572-2 is a simple and easy-to-use non-contact laser thermometer for accurate, high temperature, and high distance to spot measurements. With a few clicks, you can quickly adjust emissivity and navigate to begin data logging. Ideal applications include, metal refining, smelting, cement, petrochemical, power utility, and many other applications. It is tough, with a rugged exterior and ergonomic design, and it can withstand the harshest environments. The 572-2 quickly transforms into a multi-tool for contact and non-contact measurement because it is compatible with standard mini-connector K-type thermocouples.

 

A digital infrared thermometer is a useful tool in any workshop, factory floor, commercial kitchen, or household because it allows you to measure surface temperatures from a distance quickly, accurately, and safely. The Fluke 572-2 High-Temperature Infrared Thermometer is one of the best infrared thermometers for professional use because it is accurate and rugged all-around with adjustable emissivity settings and dual lasers to help you pinpoint the edges of the measurement area. This model is built to withstand a 3-meter drop and is water resistant, so you can rely on it to provide accurate measurements even on the dirtiest and most difficult job sites.
