Fluke 50D Thermometer

The Fluke 50D is a dual-input digital thermometer that measures temperature from J-type and K-type thermocouples with 0.1 °C (0.2 °F) resolution across its full operating range. Engineered for industrial, laboratory, and field applications, it delivers K-type accuracy of 0.1% + 0.7 °C (1.3 °F) and J-type accuracy of 0.1% + 0.8 °C (1.4 °F) under standard ambient conditions. The instrument simultaneously displays readings from two thermocouple inputs, calculates differential temperature (T1-T2), and logs minimum and maximum values—making it essential for process monitoring, thermal diagnostics, and comparative temperature analysis.
