US Fluke Thermal Imager Selection Guide
Thermal Imagers or Infrared Thermometers are valuable tools that can have a significant impact on your troubleshooting and maintenance productivity, as well as the bottom line, for industrial, electrical and building applications. It is important that you choose the right thermal imager for your application.
Some questions to consider:
Do I need High Temperature, High Accuracy or both?
Will I be measuring close up or at a distance that may require a special lens?
Do I need to store data taken in the field?
Will I need to generate reports?
Do I need video recording or just still pictures?
This Thermal Imager Selection Guide can help you choose the right tool for your application and budget. Click on the model number to get detailed specifications and pricing.
