Fluke 568 Multipurpose Thermometer
Product Description:
The Fluke 568 Multipurpose Thermometer is a versatile and advanced testing instrument that combines infrared (IR) non-contact and contact temperature measurement capabilities. Ergonomically designed for user comfort, this pistol-shaped device allows for easy point-and-shoot measurements using its infrared mode. The built-in laser pointer helps users accurately pinpoint the target measurement spot for precise readings.
In IR mode, the Fluke 568 is capable of measuring temperatures from -40°C to 800°C (-40°F to 1472°F) on a wide variety of surfaces, providing safe, non-contact testing from a distance. It features an impressive distance-to-spot ratio of 50:1, ensuring accurate readings even at extended ranges. When full contact measurements are needed, the Fluke 568 is equipped with a Type K thermocouple connection, enabling accurate contact temperature measurements within a range of -40°C to 260°C (-40°F to 500°F).
Beyond its measurement capabilities, the Fluke 568 also offers data storage functionality, allowing up to 99 measurements to be saved and recalled later. It is compatible with FlukeView Forms software, providing users with the ability to analyze and report data quickly and efficiently. This tool is ideal for professionals who need both flexibility and accuracy in their temperature measurements.

- International orders: placed by 2:00 PM Monday–Thursday are usually dispatched the same day.
Orders placed after these times are processed the next working day. This means delivery may occur the following day or later, depending on the courier and service selected.

- Premium services (e.g. Royal Mail Special Delivery or DHL by Noon) offer guaranteed delivery windows.
If your order is time-sensitive, we strongly recommend choosing a guaranteed service or contacting us before ordering to confirm availability.
Please note: For logistical reasons, we may occasionally adjust the delivery method selected at checkout. For example, smaller items may be better suited to letterbox-friendly packaging or may be at greater risk of delay or loss via certain services. We actively monitor courier and postal service disruptions—including strikes and delays—and may modify shipping arrangements to help ensure timely and secure delivery.
📅 Busy Periods & Delays
We always aim to dispatch promptly, but delivery times may be affected by:
- Seasonal demand (e.g. Christmas, bank holidays, or industry shutdowns)
