Amprobe Test Tools recently introduced 18 new meters for conducting a wide range of measurements, including humidity, temperature, air flow, sound, light, gas detection, distance, revolutions-per-minute, pressure and cable wiring. The launch is the largest product expansion for the company in over two years.   The introduction includes six new temperature and relative humidity meters for use in data centres, HVAC, plant maintenance, and food and beverage:   •    TMD-10 Dual Temperature Meter — a portable, dual input thermometer with a digital dual display that displays T1, T2 and T1-T2. •    TH-1 Compact Probe Style Relative Humidity Meter — a small, portable RH/Temp meter for quick comfort-level measurements. •    THWD-5 Relative Humidity and Temperature Meter with Wet Bulb and Dew Point — a microprocessor-based meter for easy, quick access to relative humidity and temperature as well as wet bulb and dew point values. •    TR100 and TR200 Temperature Data Loggers with Digital Display, and TR300 Temperature and Relative Humidity Data Loggers — three compact meters for recording temperature readings and/or RH using these parameters: sample interval timing, start/stop, date/time, HI/LO alarm threshold, unit selection, and number of memory points. •    TMA40 Anemometer, Relative Humidity and Temperature —provides three measurements in one unit: air flow (velocity or volume), relative humidity and temperature.   www.amprobe.com  

Serious Materials recently announced its new ThermaProof energy-saving windows. The new line of windows, for both commercial and residential construction, offer true, full-frame R-values of R-5 to R-11. These performance levels are up to four times higher than current Energy Star requirements and the company purports that they are the only windows that already exceed proposed Energy Star standards for 2013. ThermaProof windows claim to save more energy than any other major brand. www.ThermaProof.com

The affordable three-camera FLIR i-Series range — the i40, i50, and i60 — offers stand-out infrared diagnostic capabilities designed to help in-house plant maintenance, electrical and HVAC technicians, building inspectors, and pro thermographers alike find problems faster and more easily.

Fluke Electronics Canada has released a new catalog of Fluke accessories that, according to the company, vastly expands the functionality and value of Fluke test tools. Fluke accessories can turn a Fluke digital multimeter into a thermometer, an amp-meter or even a pressure gauge. Tool cases protect tools and extend their life. Holsters and magnetic tool hangers keep instruments handy and help boost productivity. Non-contact detectors, probe and hat lights and appropriately rated test probes help users improve their safety and proficiency. FlukeView forms software enables users to download data and create computer charts and reports. The Fluke Accessories Catalog lists products by popularity and includes photos of each product, multiple compatibility charts to help users match accessories to the appropriate test tools, an index and application information. www.fluke.com/accy-catalog
