The Fluke 80PK-26 Type-K SureGrip™ Tapered Temperature Probe, -40 to 816 °C (104 to 1500 °F) is essentially a bead probe with a handle that can be used as a surface probe. The stainless steel sheath allows the bead to measure temperatures higher than bead probes with flexible leads. The handle also allows you to apply more focused surface pressure without having your hand in close proximity to the source. The 40 in. cable is terminated with a Type K miniature thermocouple connector with 0.792 mm pin spacing. The 80PK-26 can be used with any temperature-measuring instrument that is designed to accept Type K thermocouples and has miniature connector input.
