Fluke 80PK-27 SureGrip Industrial Surface Temperature Probe
The Fluke 80PK-27 SureGrip Industrial Surface Temperature Probe is a Type K thermocouple probe for measuring the temperature of flat or slightly convex surfaces. It covers a wide measurement range from -127 °C to 600 °C and is designed for use in rugged environments. Its ribbon sensor provides direct contact with the surface while the SureGrip design makes the probe easier to hold and position during a measurement.
Compatibility is broad because the probe works with temperature measuring instruments that accept Type K thermocouples, use a miniature thermocouple connector and provide cold reference junction compensation. This makes the Fluke 80PK-27 SureGrip Industrial Surface Temperature Probe suitable for use with compatible Type K measuring equipment without requiring a dedicated instrument. A yellow miniature thermocouple connector provides the electrical connection.
For accurate surface work, the probe can be adjusted against the test surface until the highest reading is obtained when measuring above ambient temperature or the lowest reading when measuring below ambient temperature. Around ambient temperature, the measurement should be taken when the thermometer reading is most stable. The Fluke 80PK-27 SureGrip Industrial Surface Temperature Probe uses 303 stainless steel for the probe tip and sheath and is supplied with a one-year warranty.
Key Benefits
- Measures both very low and high surface temperatures across a -127 °C to 600 °C range.
- Ribbon sensor supports direct contact measurements on flat and slightly convex surfaces.
- SureGrip construction makes the probe easier to hold while concentrating on the measurement.
- Miniature Type K thermocouple connector supports use with compatible temperature measuring instruments.
- 303 stainless steel probe tip and sheath provide durable construction for industrial use.
- Clear positioning guidance helps users obtain the highest, lowest or most stable reading for the measurement condition.
- Probe operation can be checked using an ambient-temperature response and basic continuity tests when fault finding.
- Replaceable measurement technique adjustments help improve contact on polished, rough, plastic or contaminated surfaces.
- One-year warranty provides manufacturer warranty cover for the probe.
Common Applications
Fluke 80PK-27 SureGrip Industrial Surface Temperature Probe is suitable for a range of testing, maintenance and inspection tasks, including:
- Temperature measurement on flat surfaces.
- Temperature measurement on slightly convex surfaces.
- High-temperature surface measurements up to 600 °C.
- Measurements on clean and polished surfaces.
- Measurements on thermally conductive materials.
- Surface temperature checks on plastic materials.
- Measurements on rough or contaminated surfaces.
- Surface temperature work in rugged environments.
Why Choose This Model?
The 80PK-27 is designed for surface temperature measurement and reaches up to 600 °C, whereas the 80PK-25 is a piercing probe for foods, liquids, gels and semi-solid materials with a -40 °C to 260 °C range. The 80PK-27 is therefore the model suited to flat or slightly convex industrial surface measurements.
