From what I have seen on other trade boards, people are really complaining about the Klein 11 in 1 lately. It is kind of shocking to me, because it was by far and away the most used and loved multi...

Wiha makes the best screwdrivers in the world, IMO.

Sorry. Here was the question.

Do we have any HVAC guys out there turned energy auditors? My interest is the similarity of our heat loss calculations versus a heating contractor doing a manual j...

This is a question from another board that is more directed for members here.

Hey guys, AC Tool Supply is sponsoring a Fluke Infrared Building Analyst Seminar in Tempe, AZ on August 4, 2009. I thought this board would be a good place to post this because we are getting...

The Testo 435 is one sick meter.

JJ

I agree 100% with you. Even when looking at a blackbody most IR thermometers are off +/- 5%. It is a very over marketed tool. There are times though that distance does force the use of one. Other...

Fluke is USA made. FLIR is USA and Sweden. Testo-Germany. Mikron-Japan.

Those are the major players in infrared. All of which have USA distribution and service. Fluke / FLIR are the two best...

Which camera is that? And why?

Raz-IR is a chinese camera. I believe SLP infrared is the US distributor, you could have major problems with service if that comes up. Having it serviced overseas...

Fluke bought Amprobe, and since then some of the meters have become an import. I am guessing because the Amprobe line had more manufacturing for those lines.

Most of Fluke's core line is still...

Black electrical tape is approx .97 emissivity. Personally I like the Fluke's and Testo's.

Energy Auditor & Weatherization Talk

Awesome, thanks. So my 212 degree camera is going to be fine on almost all units based on that refrigerant information.

JJ

So if it is 100 outside the unit itself will only get up to 105 to 108 degrees, while the exhausted air will be 115 to 130? Is that for an average residential unit?

Thanks

I was not looking for the temperatures that are produced within the building or structure, but the heat the unit generates and radiates off. The unit, whatever it is called, where the compressor is...

What kind of temps do AC units run at? I am looking for max out put temps for residential, commercial and industrial units.

thanks in advance

The 289 is amazing. If you purchase one make sure you are getting the whole 289 FVF kit. A lot of distributors are advertising them on the web as the 289, but fail to mention you are not getting...

With the exception of wire nuts and other misc wire connectors Ideal private labels almost everything. The benefit to it is that Ideal stands behind their stuff as good or better than every other...

It got implimented once the FLIR deal went through. Which was late last year. Some distributors are not adhering to it, and they are getting dropped because of it. So if you shop around you might...

Gotta keep searching brother. Amazon charges distributors 15% of the sale to move their goods. So generally Amazon a little bit more expensive than the best prices.

JJ

All Extech products are under what is called MMAP pricing. Manufactures Minimum advertised price. Meaning that distributors can only advertise one price. That is why you find the FLIR cameras (owns...

No temp (let alone dual type k's) or IR thermometer on the Ideal. Both kind of nice features for you guys.

JJ

Oh yeah the tight site ones, I had two displays on the front in my mind when you originally posted that. Forgot about the ones that have the display in the bottom.

When those things first came...

What I like about that whole series of temp meters is its size. You know they could of made that thing a heck of a lot smaller, but they didn't. Sometimes, at least to me, smaller isn't always...

Which Ideal one has two displays? Never seen one like that. Only thing I can think of is the 61-495. It is a single display but can display more than one thing in that display. Basically an...

yeah and I actually posted the wrong ohms for those two anyway, getting late. 30 ohms for continuity. 6000 ohms for the 337 and the 355 is 400kΩ.
