Fluke 80PK-10 Pipe Surface Clamp Thermometer

Product Description

The FLUKE 80PK-10 is a Type K thermocouple pipe surface clamp thermometer designed for temperature and superheat measurements on pipe surfaces. The clamp-on design secures directly to pipes ranging from 1-1/4 to 2-1/2 inches in diameter, delivering accurate surface temperature readings from -20 to 300 degrees F. A durable ribbon sensor makes contact with the pipe surface to ensure reliable readings, and the 39-inch (1 meter) cord provides enough reach for flexible positioning during service work. HVAC technicians and plumbing professionals reach for this probe when verifying refrigerant superheat or checking pipe temperatures without interrupting the system.

The 80PK-10 is suited for residential and light commercial HVAC service, refrigeration work, and plumbing applications where non-invasive pipe surface temperature measurement is required. It is commonly used during system startup, troubleshooting, and superheat verification on suction and liquid lines. The clamp-on form factor eliminates the need for piercing or tapping the pipe, making it practical for quick diagnostic checks in the field.

Key Features

• Type K thermocouple for broad compatibility with standard digital multimeters and clamp meters
• Temperature range of -20 to 300 degrees F for common HVAC and plumbing service ranges
• Clamp-on design fits pipes from 1-1/4 to 2-1/2 inches in diameter
• Durable ribbon sensor maintains consistent surface contact for accurate readings
• 39-inch (1 meter) cord length for flexible positioning in tight mechanical spaces
• Suited for superheat and temperature measurement without system intrusion

Compatibility

The FLUKE 80PK-10 is a Type K thermocouple probe compatible with any meter or instrument that accepts a Type K thermocouple input. Fits pipe diameters from 1-1/4 to 2-1/2 inches.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians or qualified service professionals. Clean the pipe surface of dirt, oil, or scale before attaching the clamp to improve sensor contact and reading accuracy. No refrigerant recovery or system shutdown is required for clamp-on surface measurement, but follow all applicable safety procedures when working near energized equipment or pressurized refrigerant lines. Verify probe and meter compatibility before use.
