Product Description
The instrument has a cup wheel consisting of three conical cups in a horizontal plane. The cup wheel spindle is of stainless steel and connected worm gearing to a revolution counter mounted in a water proof housing. By observing the counter reading at the beginning and end of any period of interest the average wind speed during the interval can be calculated. The counter observing window is sloped to permit easy reading when mounted on the mastISO-Compliant PrecisionEngineered to meet ISO 17713-1:2007 standards, this cup counter anemometer ensures consistent and reliable wind speed measurement. Its mechanical design delivers dependable performance in meteorological, environmental, and educational settings. Thanks to precision manufacturing and weather-proof materials, the anemometer maintains high accuracy in a variety of field conditions.
Rugged, All-Weather ConstructionConstructed using UV-resistant plastic cups and weather-proof aluminum alloy arms, the instrument is built for extended outdoor use. It withstands temperature extremes from -40C to +60C and operates effectively in 0-100% humidity. Powder coating and stainless-steel sealed bearings minimize maintenance and combat corrosion, prolonging service life.
FAQ's of Anemometer, Cup Counter As Per Iso:
Q: How is the Cup Counter Anemometer installed for accurate wind speed measurements?
A: The anemometer is designed for easy mounting on poles or masts, allowing secure installation at the desired height to capture unobstructed wind. Proper positioning ensures accurate wind data collection by reducing interference from surrounding structures.
Q: What process does the anemometer use to measure wind speed?
A: This instrument counts the rotations of its three-cup assembly as wind passes by. The mechanical digit counter displays these rotations, which can be easily converted to wind speed based on calibration against ISO 17713-1:2007 standards.
Q: Where can this anemometer be effectively used?
A: It is suitable for outdoor environments, especially in field surveys, research weather stations, and educational demonstrations. Its rugged, weather-resistant construction allows reliable use in all climates and weather conditions.
Q: When does the Anemometer start capturing wind data?
A: It features a low starting threshold of less than 1 m/s, meaning it begins counting wind-generated rotations even at very gentle breezes, ensuring you do not miss crucial low-speed wind events.
Q: What are the maintenance requirements for this meteorological instrument?
A: Thanks to its sealed stainless steel bearings and durable materials, the anemometer is designed to be essentially maintenance-free, providing reliable operation over extended periods with minimal upkeep.
Q: How does using this anemometer benefit data collection in meteorological studies?
A: With ISO compliance, a wide operating range, and high accuracy (0.5 m/s), this anemometer enables precise data acquisition, critical for reliable environmental analysis and decision-making in research and field operations.
