Static Wind Sensor – Overview

The static hotwire air flow meter, also known as a Thermal Anemometer, is specially designed for extreme environmental conditions including very cold climates. With no movable elements, it can withstand winds of up to  0…100 m/s and measure wind speeds of up to 65 m/s. The extremely robust and compact sensor has a high-quality, pollutant-resistant housing made of anodised aluminium.
