The Art of Calibration

Anemometer

Key Features:

  1. Wind Speed Measurement:
    • Cup Anemometer Design: Traditional anemometers often use cups mounted on horizontal arms that rotate with the wind. The rotational speed is directly proportional to the wind speed.
    • Vane Anemometer Design: Vane anemometers feature a rotating vane that aligns with the wind direction, and the speed of rotation indicates the wind speed.
  2. Wind Direction Measurement:
    • Wind Vane: An integrated wind vane provides information about the wind direction. The vane points into the wind, offering a visual indication of its direction.
  3. Digital Display:
    • Instantaneous Wind Speed: The anemometer typically displays real-time wind speed in units such as meters per second (m/s), kilometers per hour (km/h), miles per hour (mph), or knots.
    • Wind Direction: Models with wind direction measurement display the current wind direction.
  4. Handheld or Fixed Mount:
    • Handheld Anemometer: Portable and suitable for on-the-go measurements. Ideal for outdoor activities like sailing, hiking, or field studies.
    • Fixed Mount Anemometer: Installed at a fixed location, commonly used in meteorological stations, weather towers, or for monitoring wind conditions at specific sites.
  5. Cup Material:
    • Plastic or Metal Cups: Cups are often made of plastic or metal, and the choice can impact the anemometer’s durability and performance.
  6. Temperature Measurement (Optional):
    • Some advanced models may include a temperature sensor to measure air temperature simultaneously with wind speed and direction.
  7. Calibration Adjustment:
    • The anemometer may have features for calibration adjustment to maintain accuracy over time. Calibration may be necessary periodically.
  8. Wind Chill Calculation (Optional):
    • In models with temperature measurement, the anemometer may calculate wind chill, providing an indication of how the combination of wind speed and temperature affects perceived cold.
  9. Data Logging (Optional):
    • Advanced anemometers may offer data logging capabilities, allowing users to record and analyze wind speed and direction over a specific time period.
  10. Battery Operated:
    • Anemometers are typically powered by batteries, ensuring portability and ease of use in various settings.
  11. Tripod Mount (Optional):
    • Some models include a threaded socket for mounting on a tripod, providing stability during measurements.
  12. Backlit Display (Optional):
    • Anemometers designed for low-light conditions may feature a backlit display for improved visibility.
  13. Alarms (Optional):
    • Certain models may have programmable alarms to alert users when wind speed exceeds specified thresholds.
  14. Compliance with Standards:
    • Our Anemometer is manufactured to comply with relevant industry standards, ensuring accurate and reliable wind speed and direction measurements.
