Intrinsically safe infrared thermometer

November 2015 IS & Ex

Comtest has announced the arrival of the newly launched Fluke 568 Ex intrinsically safe infrared thermometer which meets the certification requirements of all safety agencies for Class 1 Div. 1 and Div. 2 or Zone 1 and 2 hazardous environments.

Ideal for use in environments such as petroleum, chemical and oil and gas, the Fluke 568 Ex is a tool that can be used anywhere. It measures from -40 to 800°C with ±1% accuracy. Measurements from further away are accurate with a 50:1 distance-to-spot ratio. The Fluke 568 Ex captures up to 99 points of data and is versatile, with a multiple language (user select) interface and adjustable emissivity with built-in material table.

The instrument is compatible with standard K-type mini-connector thermocouple probe (KTC) and is shipped with a conductive case for carrying into hazardous areas. It also carries the standard Fluke 2-year warranty.
