Fluke 1551A-20 Intrinsically Safe 'Stik' Thermometer

Please Note: Model number appended with a -9, -12 or -20 indicates probe sheath length in inches. All probe diameters are 6.35 mm with the exception of the 1551A-9, which is 4.8 mm diameter. Finally, a digital substitute for your mercury-in-glass thermometers! Accurate and repeatable to + 0.05 °C over its full range, the Fluke 1551A 'Stik' Thermometer is the new 'gold standard' of industrial temperature calibration. Whether working outdoors in environments where potentially explosive gases may be present or on the floor of a processing plant, the intrinsically-safe, battery operated, portable reference thermometer is designed to go where you work. The large backlit LCD display on the Fluke 1551A Ex rotates 90° degrees making it easy to read from any angle. A user-configurable stability/trend indicator lets you know when your temperature is stable enough to record an accurate measurement. A user-settable auto-off function extends typical battery life to three hundred hours. A low-battery indicator and stop-measure function prevent erroneous measurements from being made due to low battery life. The sensor of the Fluke 1551A Ex requires a minimum immersion depth of only seven centimeters (2.8 inches), with no appreciable effect on the measured temperature due to heat loss through stem conduction. FEATURES Accuracy of + 0.05 °C (+ 0.09 °F) over full range. Intrinsically safe (ATEX and IECEx compliant). Two models to choose from (-50 °C to 160 °C or -80 °C to 300 °C). User-configurable temperature trend/stability indicator. Display temperature in °C or °F. Optional data logging to internal memory. 300-hour battery life. Percent battery-life and low-battery indicator. NVLAP-accredited, NIST-traceable calibration included. FIVE REASONS TO REPLACE MERCURY THERMOMETERS 1. Since the “Stik” Thermometer does not contain mercury, it is not subject to government-imposed bans. Government agencies worldwide have either banned or are seeking to ban the use and transportation of industrial mercury thermometers. 2. The stainless steel probe sheath of the “Stik” Thermometer is far more robust than the glass stem of a mercury thermometer and better suited for industrial environments. 3. When considering cost of ownership, a digital thermometer is less expensive than a mercury thermometer. With a mercury thermometer, you either invest in equipment or you hire out to clean up after a mercury spill. 4. Mercury thermometers cannot be adjusted after calibration. The actual temperature must be calculated by applying corrections to the measured temperature. 5. A digital thermometer doesn’t require that you match calibration conditions to achieve an accurate measurement. You’re only required to meet the minimum immersion requirements - which is only 7 cm (2.8 in) in the case of the 1551A Ex.
