Fluke Calibration Precision Digital Thermometer Readouts and Reference Thermometers

Thermometer Readout Selection Guide

A Fluke Calibration precision digital thermometer readout is specifically designed to measure temperature sensors for calibration. The purpose of the readout is to measure a temperature sensor’s resistance or voltage and display a temperature. However, not every instrument that simply measures resistance or voltage is well suited for work with PRTs, RTDs, thermocouples or thermistors. Because thermometer readouts are designed for calibration, they offer many advantages, especially convenience and accuracy.
