Winters Instruments, Toronto, Ontario, extended its five-year warranty to cover all products effective immediately. This includes its thermometers, temperature sensors, valves, thermowells, pressure gauges, pressure transmitters, pressure switches, diaphragm seals and all accessories.

RTD and thermocouple temperature sensors need to be in close proximity to the point of measurement. In most cases, however, they are not rugged enough to be inserted directly into the gas or liquid of interest. As a result, these sensors must be protected by thermowells or installed against a pipe or vessel to take a surface-temperature measurement.
