Fluke 568 Ex for intrinsically safe temperature measurements anywhere in the world

The Fluke 568 Ex Intrinsically Safe Infrared Thermometer is certified by major rating bodies for use in Class I Div. 1 and Div. 2 or Zone 1 and 2 hazardous environments anywhere in the world. Whether you work in petroleum, chemical, oil and gas, or pharmaceutical environments, the 568 Ex allows you to carry the most trusted name in test tools into most Ex-rated areas around the globe. The simple, three-button on-screen menu interface is quick to use and makes even complex measurements easy. It takes just a few pushes of a button to adjust emissivity, record data, or turn on and off alarms. The 50:1 distance-to-spot ratio allows you to measure smaller objects from further away. And it also is compatible with K-type probes for contact measurements. Either way, you can count on the rugged, ergonomic design to stand up to tough conditions.
