Fluke Corporation will donate $65,000 worth of test instruments to schools and training programs for use in teaching students to diagnose and repair sophisticated industrial process control systems.

Through the new Fluke Industrial Control Grant Program, instructors in accredited U.S. training programs can apply for grants of Fluke industrial test instruments for classroom use.

Five different schools will be selected to receive kits of nine Fluke test tools. Each kit is valued at $13,000 and includes three Fluke 719 Pressure Calibrators, three Fluke 773 Milliamp Process Clamp Meters and three award-winning Fluke 289 True-rms Industrial Logging Multimeters with TrendCapture. Fluke will announce the winners in November, 2010.

Educators can take advantage of important teaching support provided by Fluke, such as videos on all three products, a curriculum kit on industrial process controls, Fluke webinars on process tools and a live webinar featuring Fluke process expert Jim Shields.
