Description: | What is an anemometer/wind sensor? An anemometer is an instrument that measures the air velocity. The main applications of wind sensor are in the field of meteorology and industrial applications such as in wind turbine business or high-rise crane safety monitoring. Wind speed sensor & wind direction sensor are used for wind speed and direction measurement. For the measurement of wind speed and wind direction, several principles may be used, as described in the WMO 'Guide to Meteorological Instruments and Methods of Observations. RIKA offers a wide range of wind speed and direction sensor & wind sensors with wind cup principle, ultrasonic principle or hotline principle, they are designed to be used within the hardest environmental conditions such as harsh marine environments and high accuracy EPA requirements. There are diverse types of anemometers like cup anemometer, vane anemometer, etc and among which that the wind cup anemometer is the most commonly used in meteorological stations. Our products are popular with customers globally. |
