Fluke 568 Infrared Thermometer, a professional-grade measurement tool designed for both non-contact and contact temperature readings.
Core Definition
An infrared (IR) thermometer is a non-contact device that measures temperature by detecting the infrared radiation (heat) naturally emitted by an object. It focuses this energy onto a sensor called a thermopile, which converts the radiation into an electrical signal and displays it as a digital temperature reading.
Key Features of the Fluke 568
Dual Functionality: It can measure surface temperatures from a distance using its IR laser sensor or take direct contact measurements using a Type-K thermocouple probe.
Temperature Range: It handles a wide range from -40°C to 800°C (-40°F to 1472°F).
