Fluke Process Instruments
Monitoring of paint and powder cure
Complementing the newly launched DATAPAQ EasyTrack3 temperature data logger for paint and powder cure, Fluke Process Instruments supplies a comprehensive range of precise and reliable thermocouple probes.
Illustration: The temperature profiling program includes thermocouples for ferrous materials, aluminum, and plasticsThe type K thermocouples are specified to ANSI MC96.1 for an accuracy of ±1.1 °C or 0.4%. They are supplied with a PTFE-jacketed cable designed to give flexibility but also enhance life expectancy in an industrial environment. These measure temperatures up to 265 °C. In addition, high-temperature glass-fiber thermocouples rated up to 500 °C are also available. Various attachment options accommodate all magnetic and non-magnetic products of all shapes and sizes. Small patch probes have a very short response time and are therefore ideal for monitoring small parts, plastics, and cans. Clamp-on probes measure surface and air temperature and can be used universally for thin parts, including aluminum-extruded products. A range of magnetic probes are available for rapid attachment to ferrous surfaces in moving lines – namely offset magnetic probes for monitoring flat products and air temperature and MicroMag surface probes which easily fit in tight spaces. The range is completed by two-, four-, and six-channel probe clamps for quickly detaching the data logger and probe ID tags.
