New Winters pressure sensing accessories will protect pressure measurement equipment from pressure surges, superheated media and more, preventing wear and damage to delicate instruments. Siphons protect pressure gauges, transmitters, and switches from the effect of high temperature media such as steam. Pressure snubbers protect instruments by suppressing the effect of damaging pressure pulsations and spikes. Manual isolation and throttling needle valves isolate instruments from the sensed media, while block and bleed valves isolate instruments with the added ability to bleed off unwanted pressure. Both valves allow for quick and easy removal and maintenance of measurement instruments without shutting down the process.
Winters pressure accessories come with a 5-year warranty and start at $7.50 (SSP556-ADC)
