FLUKE 52 II or what?

[ViperPrime]

HI, i know that the FLUKE 52 II is king of the hilll
but it's always over 200 smolians
i just saw the
Type K E J T B N R S Digital Thermometer Thermocouple mV 1800°C High Temperature fpr $43.00 so that is big savings.....

anyone got something to say...

Description

This is a Professional Digital Thermometer which supports 8 Type of Thermocouples (Type K E J T B N R S) for extra high temperature measurements. You can replace the thermocouples with any standard Type thermocouple for your purposes.

The Thermometer has advanced features with 4 digits Dual Level LCD Display and able to display Higher Temperature Range (up to 1800 °C / 3272 °F), Higher Resolution (up to 0.1 °C / 0.1 °F) and Higher Accuracy. It can be switchable between °C and °F. It also has 2500 records of manual memory and 6000 records of auto memory.

Moreover, the thermometer can display Temperature of 2 different probes (T1 and T2), Temperature difference (T1-T2), Maximum (MAX) and Minimum (MIN) temperature. It also has 2500 records of manual memory and 6000 records of auto memory. Over Range, Low Battery Indication and Data Hold function are also included.

It has a wide range of applications in Ovens, Furnaces, Ceramics, Pottery, Molten Metal and many other industrial uses.

thoughts????

 

[Eureka!]

Any meter that can take a thermocouple will do. You don't need extreme precision or ranges, just find one that takes a k-type thermocouple and then buy a cheap thermocouple.

that is kinda what i thought, just need to know i am in the right range..

thanks
