Fluke 179 True-RMS Multimeter - Calibrated

Calibration information

The multimeter is calibrated to factory standards in a Dutch lab. Of course Fluke also calibrated the meter during production and found it to be good, but for traceability and extra security it is important for many companies to have a recent and independent calibration report of the meter. You will receive a recent and traceable calibration certificate, i.e. that the measurement values obtained can be substantiated and ultimately (including uncertainties) traceable to the SI units such as Volt, Ampere, seconds, etc. The calibration takes place in a conditioned room in terms of humidity and temperature; only when the meter is used in similar conditions can the values be guaranteed. Should you wish to recalibrate the meter after one year, you can easily arrange this yourself via https://www.toolscan.eu/nl/. On this portal you can also save your certificates and view the history per instrument. In addition to this (simpler) traceable calibration, there is also the accredited calibration in accordance with ISO 17025. With such a calibration there are additional requirements to the used equipment, circumstances and personnel. This involves higher costs, and in most cases is not necessary. If you would like to have an accredited calibration we can also provide this at an additional cost, please contact us.

The Fluke 179 is a robust digital hand-held multimeter with a 6,000-count display and it is accurate up to 0.15% for standard measurement functions. Apart from the standard and true RMS functions for measuring volts, ohms and amperes, capacitance and frequency measurements can also be performed. Furthermore, there is a function for diode testing and you can check the continuity.

The 179 also offers temperature measurement compared to the lower models in the 170 series.

This multimeter has a fold out stand at the back and the display is large and easy to read. This multimeter uses a 9V block battery, which you can use for about 200 hours. The Fluke 179 belongs to the measurement category CAT IV to 600V and CAT III to 1000V.
