6501-0E Multi-function Hot-wire Anemometer
An anemometer is a measurement tool to assess wind speed or pressure. Unlike previous versions of anemometers that used windmills or cups, hot wire anemometers use a very thin heated wire. As air flows past the wire, it cools the wire. Thus, the electrical resistance of the wire is affected by the temperature change. The anemometer is then able to measure the resistance change of the wire. The use of hot wires allows anemometers to be compact and portable. The equipment does not need to be bulky, and it can even be a handheld device. Kanomax makes one of the most accurate and reliable hot wire wind assessment tools in the industry.
The multi-function Climomaster Model 6501 Series has detachable compatible probes to measure air speed and pressure in a variety of settings. With 8 probes, there is sure to be a compatible unit for any worksite. This particular instrument is useful for a number of applications including:
- HVAC Testing
- IAQ Investigations
- Critical Environment Certification
- HEP A Filter Performance Testing
- Turbulent Air Testing
- Manufacturing Process Control
