The Fluke 51 II contact digital thermometer is one of Fluke’s precision instruments for measuring contact temperature in industrial and laboratory environments. The device supports J, K, T, and E type thermocouples, and its measurement accuracy is ±(0.05% + 0.3°C).
Fluke 51 II is designed as a single-channel model and features data logging of MIN, MAX, and AVG, along with a relative time timer, which is very useful for checking temperature changes over time.
A dust- and splash-resistant body, together with a shock-absorbing holster, makes this model suitable for harsh industrial environments. The large backlit display allows easy reading of data even in low-light conditions.
The thermometer is powered by three AA batteries, providing up to 1,000 hours of useful life. The measurement range varies depending on the thermocouple type; for type K it includes −200°C to +1372°C.
