A technology often used to monitor process temperature — an infrared thermometer — showed its temperature-sensing prowess in a less familiar forum with winning results.

The Fluke 572-2 high-temperature infrared thermometer can be used in power utility, metal refining and smelting, glass, cement and petrochemical environments.

Series TP2 can accurately measure a large temperature range for applications such as food, safety inspection and laboratory testing.

Series Pro 100 and Pro 200 are suited for applications where devices such as thermocouples and RTDs would be inaccurate, too slow or difficult to use. 

Understanding infrared thermometers and using them properly in industrial applications goes a long way toward improving the process and product.
