Fluke 80PK-27 Type K Ruggedized Surface Thermocouple Probe

Product Description

The FLUKE 80PK-27 is a ruggedized Type K thermocouple probe designed for accurate surface temperature measurement on flat or slightly convex surfaces. The probe features a durable ribbon sensor housed in a stainless steel sheath with a straight PVC-coated cable and a standard K-type connector. It covers a wide temperature range from -320 to 1,112 degrees F (-196 to 600 degrees C), making it suitable for demanding industrial and automotive applications. HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, and industrial maintenance professionals use this probe when precise surface contact readings are required on equipment, piping, or machinery components.

The 80PK-27 is built for field use on flat and slightly convex surfaces including plastics, metal housings, automotive components, and industrial equipment. Its ruggedized construction handles repeated use in harsh environments. The K-type connector mates with any compatible K-type thermocouple input on digital multimeters and temperature meters, including Fluke meters that accept K-type probes. It ships as a single unit and is appropriate for both diagnostic and preventive maintenance work across HVAC, refrigeration, and general industrial trades.

Key Features

Compatibility

Designed for use with meters and instruments that accept a standard K-type thermocouple input. Suitable for surface temperature measurement on flat or slightly convex surfaces including plastics, automotive parts, and industrial equipment.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of this probe should be performed by qualified HVAC technicians, refrigeration mechanics, or industrial maintenance personnel. Before connecting the probe, confirm the receiving meter or instrument is powered off or in the correct input mode for K-type thermocouple signals. Ensure firm, flush contact between the ribbon sensor and the measurement surface for accurate readings. Do not exceed the rated temperature range of 1,112 degrees F to avoid probe damage.
