Fluke 80PK-8 Type K Pipe Clamp Thermocouple Probe 40 in Lead

Fluke 80PK-8 Type K pipe clamp probe for fast pipe-surface temperature checks

The Fluke 80PK-8 is a Type K thermocouple pipe clamp temperature probe designed to measure pipe surface temperature on 1/4 in to 1-3/8 in diameter piping. It connects via a miniature Type K thermocouple connector to compatible temperature-measuring instruments for quick, reliable surface readings.

Pipe clamp design with durable ribbon sensor contact

• Designed for pipe diameters from 1/4 in to 1-3/8 in
• Type K thermocouple output with miniature thermocouple connector
• Fast response time constant of 0.5 seconds
• Pipe surface measurement range of -29°C to 149°C (-20°F to 300°F)
• Maximum voltage rating: 24 V ac rms or 60 V dc

Stable Type K measurement architecture for surface readings

The 80PK-8 uses a Chromel-Alumel (Type K) sensor and a clamp jaw “V” notch contact point to support consistent thermal contact on round pipe surfaces. A 40-inch lead supports practical reach to the measurement point while keeping the connector accessible.

Where this pipe clamp thermocouple probe is typically used

• HVAC/R pipe surface temperature checks for superheat measurement workflows
• Refrigeration line temperature verification on installed piping
• General maintenance diagnostics of pipe surface temperature on compatible materials
