Fluke 572-2 High Temperature IR Thermometer
The Fluke 572-2 is a high-temperature, non-contact infrared thermometer for taking accurate readings from a safe distance in demanding industrial environments. It measures from -30 °C to 900 °C, so a single instrument covers everything from cold stores and HVAC plant up to furnaces, kilns and process equipment where getting close to the target is neither practical nor safe.
Brand and standards
Fluke is one of the most trusted names in electrical and industrial test and measurement, and Powerpoint Engineering is an authorised Fluke distributor in Ireland. The 572-2 is built for the kind of repeatable, traceable measurement that maintenance and process teams rely on, and we calibrate Fluke instruments in our own in-house laboratory so your readings stay defensible over time.
Applications
The wide range and tight spot size make the 572-2 suited to high-temperature, hard-to-reach measurement tasks:
- Predictive and preventive maintenance on motors, bearings and drives
- Spot checks on furnaces, ovens, kilns and process heaters
- HVAC and refrigeration plant troubleshooting
- Surface temperature checks where contact is unsafe or impractical
- Quality and process monitoring across production lines

- Non-contact measurement keeps technicians clear of hot or moving equipment
FAQs
How hot a surface can the Fluke 572-2 actually read?
It measures from -30 °C right up to 900 °C, so it handles cold stores and refrigeration plant at one end and furnaces, kilns and process heaters at the other. That wide span means you can use the one instrument across most maintenance and process jobs instead of carrying several.
How close do I need to be to get an accurate reading?
The 572-2 is non-contact, so you read from a safe distance. With a 19 mm minimum spot size it stays accurate on smaller or further-away targets, which is exactly why it suits high-temperature work where getting near the surface is unsafe or simply not possible.
Can Powerpoint Engineering calibrate my Fluke 572-2?
Yes. Our in-house calibration and repair laboratory services Fluke infrared thermometers and issues traceable certificates. Regular calibration keeps your temperature readings defensible for maintenance records and process control. Speak to our calibration team to book a slot.
