Test and measurement tools now accessible

From its headquarters in Everett, Washington, USA, Fluke played host to the first-ever Fluke Press Summit 2012. Over 80 journalist and editors from around the globe, including representatives from Canada, Brazil, United Kingdom and Australia (Westwick-Farrow Media), gathered for the educational insight into the operation and development of new technology by Fluke. Details of two of the latest exciting Fluke products being released soon were revealed during the summit: an easy-to-use infrared thermometer and a vibration meter for frontline screening.

Fluke 805 Vibration Meter

The Fluke 805 Vibration Meter is a portable multifunction vibration screening tool that provides quantifiable information on the bearing and overall health of motors and other rotating equipment. The instrument is suitable for troubleshooting teams that need reliable and repeatable measurements of rotating equipment to make imperative go/no-go maintenance decisions.

Fluke 62 Max and 62 Max+ infrared thermometers

The Fluke 62 Max and 62 Max+ infrared thermometers have been released. These easy-to-use test tools are dust, water and drop resistant, making them suitable for the harsh conditions faced by technicians in electrical, service, HVAC, process, industrial and facilities maintenance applications.The Fluke 62 Max is suitable for quick temperature scans of systems to look for anything from unusual hot spots that signal electrical and electromechanical malfunctions to undesirable air intake/output patterns in the building envelope. Because infrared measurement does not require making contact with the surface being measured, technicians can make the measurements from a distance, away from moving machinery or live electrical connections.

Partnership for greenhouse gas analyser

The University of Wollongong (UOW) and Ecotech, a company which specialises in environmental monitoring instruments, have announced a partnership to manufacture and distribute a comprehensive greenhouse gas analyser to worldwide markets.
