13 best wind speed measurement devices

Wind speed measurement devices, also known as anemometers, are instruments used to determine the speed and direction of the wind. These instruments are essential for various applications, including weather forecasting, aviation, agriculture, and environmental monitoring. Here's an overview of wind speed measurement devices:

  1. Cup Anemometers: Cup anemometers are one of the most common types of wind speed measurement devices. They consist of three or four cups mounted on horizontal arms. When the wind blows, it causes the cups to rotate. The speed of rotation is directly proportional to the wind speed. Cup anemometers are simple, reliable, and widely used in meteorological stations.

  2. Vane Anemometers: Vane anemometers, also known as wind vanes, measure both wind speed and direction. They have a tail fin that aligns itself with the wind, while the head of the vane has a device to measure wind speed. The wind vane can provide information on wind direction and the speed of the wind.

  3. Hot-Wire Anemometers: Hot-wire anemometers use a very fine wire, often made of platinum, that is heated electrically. As the wind flows over the wire, it cools it down, and the electrical current required to maintain its temperature is proportional to the wind speed. These anemometers are sensitive and are often used in research and scientific applications.

  4. Sonic Anemometers: Sonic anemometers use ultrasonic sound waves to measure wind speed and direction. They consist of multiple pairs of transducers that emit and receive sound signals.By measuring the time it takes for sound to travel between transducers in different directions, the instrument can calculate wind speed and direction.

  5. Digital Anemometers: Digital anemometers are portable handheld devices that provide real-time wind speed readings. They are often used by outdoor enthusiasts, pilots, and individuals interested in local weather conditions. These devices typically have digital displays and may also offer additional features like temperature measurement and wind chill calculation.

  6. Weather Stations: Weather stations are comprehensive systems that include various sensors, including wind speed sensors, for measuring multiple weather parameters. These stations can provide not only wind speed information but also data on temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, and more. They are commonly used in meteorological research and for monitoring environmental conditions.

  7. Ultrasonic Anemometers: Ultrasonic anemometers use the time-of-flight principle to measure wind speed and direction. They are known for their accuracy, reliability, and low maintenance requirements, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including meteorology, agriculture, and industrial settings.

These wind speed measurement devices play a crucial role in understanding and predicting weather patterns, as well as in various industrial and recreational activities. The choice of anemometer depends on factors such as accuracy requirements, environmental conditions, and the specific application in which it will be used.

Question: What is the difference between the 866b-app and the 866b-wm
Answer: The user manual does not state the range for the outdoor sensor. I have mine on the patio at the back door. The indoor unit is upstairs in the far corner at the opposite end of the house. It is a good distance across the house, thru furniture, ceiling and carpet. The indoor unit is able to receive the signal from the outdoor sensor.
Question: Do you know how waterproof it is
Answer: Insert batteries to the sensor first, then to the main unit. Place them side by side for pairing. Please ensure the batteries are fully powered with correct placement of +/_ terminals.
Question: Well this device remember my unit preference when I power it down
Answer: It reads the actual temperature wherever you place the sensor so yes it should read it just fine like say you placed the sensor on the outside of the rv.

User questions & answers

Question: can i take a cfm reading on a kitchen hood? and how do i calculate total air velocity
Answer: Yes to CFM is part of the features: Temperature Units: -DegreeC/-DegreeF - Battery: 9V(6F22) Battery- Air Flow Units: CMM (Cubic Meters/Min), CFM (Cubic-Feet/Min) For HVAC if you are checking register outputs, this is great. If your trying too measure the main output duct off the system, it only measures any portion of the air stream you place it over. Since air moves at different sppeds inside a shape, it is not an accurate way to measure a large duct (note air does not move uniformly in corners as it does in a round duct.
Question: Does this unit actually display cfm measurement
Answer: I'm not sure why they're using a USB connector for the sensor; I'm not even sure the sensor is sending real USB signals or if they're using that style of connector because it's cheap and convenient for the number of wires they needed to connect to. The optional USB feature on the other hand, that's an actual USB port that allows you to dump collected data to a computer.
Question: Trying to read cfm on a dust collector rated for 1550 cfm. Getting readings of 4500 and x10 on the end. So what is the actual cfm
Answer: Dear friend, Thank you for choosing HOLDPEAK! I don't recommend that you use it to measure water flow. First of all, it may lead to short circuit of the instrument, and secondly, the result of measurement will be very erroneous. I hope this can help you. Best regards, Yours sincerely Livyen HOLDPEAK

User questions & answers

Question: how many days of average wind speed will this record
Answer: The individual Wire in the Cat 6 cable is solid wire
Question: How much wind history can this store
Answer: It's been a while since we installed this, I believe the individual internal wires are solid
Question: How close does the sender unit need to be to the display
Answer: When I ordered my box in August it was cat6. Said so on the box and the wires were marked as such. However I do not recall the description stating cat 5. I am sure if you ordered it and it was wrong Amazon would allow free shipping for the return. One thing to be mindful is that the order may not come with the crimped and ends (mine did not). Nevertheless when I called Amazon to complain they refunded me 20 bucks. Btw my Ethernet run in buried conduit spanned about 110 ft. No issues; everything works great.
Question: can you change the batteries in the sensor ,or is it permanent
Answer: plugs are on it already...good quality cable
