Temperature Measurement


Measure temperature with ease and precision

June 2006 Temperature Measurement

New from Comtest, the Fluke 570 series are advanced infrared thermometers suitable for predictive and preventative maintenance applications. The series consists of three models offering a broad temperature range and a true dimension laser sighting system for precise targeting resulting in more accurate measurements. Maintenance professionals requiring analysis and documentation use the 100-point datalogging and software for graphing and analysis. The top-of-the-range Fluke 576 even has a built-in digital camera that photographs the location when the temperature measurement is made.

Key features include:

* Enhanced optics that allow measurements of smaller objects from further away.

* Coaxial three-dot laser sighting system that highlights the true diameter of measurement spots at all distances.

* Adjustable emissivity setting and 30 pre-set common material values for more accurate measurements.

* 100 data point memory for storage of measurements (Fluke 574 and 576) and photographic images (Fluke 576).

* The Fluke 576 instantly captures photographs of temperature measurement locations for improved documentation.

* Backlit display, holds seven seconds.

* Bargraph of last 10 readings.

* Includes software to log, graph and analyse temperature data.

Comtest is the sole authorised distributor of Fluke Industrial and Electrical test tools in southern Africa. Fluke is a world leader in the manufacture, distribution and service of electrical and industrial test tools solutions.
