The vane anemometer is a comprehensive, easy-to-use, and intelligent measurement tool suitable for a variety of environments and applications, meeting users' diverse wind speed and temperature measurement needs.
Core Measurement and Data Management
- It supports real-time wind speed, average wind speed, maximum wind speed, and minimum wind speed. It also measures temperature and displays the Beaufort scale. Wind speed units support multiple switching options, and temperature units support switching between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).
- It measures air volume, supports switching between CMM (cubic meters per minute) and CFM (cubic feet per minute), and allows area parameters to be set. It also provides a wind chill indicator to help users assess outdoor comfort.
- It records wind speed data with a configurable recording interval and a data hold function, allowing users to lock the current value during measurement. Recorded data can be viewed, deleted, or exported at any time.
Convenient and Practical Data Recording and Transmission
- It connects to an Android phone app (iOS not currently supported) via Bluetooth for real-time data viewing, recording, and configuration. It also supports USB connection to a computer for data analysis and management using dedicated software, and data can be exported to Excel.
- It features an LED light for convenient use at night or in dimly lit environments. It supports an automatic power-off function (after 10 minutes of inactivity) and can be manually turned on or off. The buzzer function can also be set to on or off.
- Powered by a 9V battery, the device is compact and easy to carry and operate.
Application
The three-cup anemometer is widely used for data acquisition in boilers, refrigeration, HVAC, ventilation ducts, agriculture meteorological station, meteorologica monitoring for seaport, weather minitoring for expressway, wind power generation weather station.

Q1: How do you ensure accuracy of anemometer?
A1: To make sure anemometers are reliable and precise, they should be regularly calibrated. This is the procedure of checking the accuracy of a measuring instrument – as well as the adjustment to align it with the standard. The process allows equipment to produce more accurate results than would've otherwise been possible.
Q2: What affects an anemometer?
A2: The higher the wind speed, the more power is required to keep the wire at a constant temperature. Wind speed can also be determined by measuring air pressure. (Air pressure itself is measured by an instrument called a barometer.) A tube anemometer uses air pressure to determine the wind pressure, or speed.
Q3: Does an anemometer measure wind direction?
A3: An anemometer looks like a weather vane, but instead of measuring which direction the wind is blowing with pointers, it has four cups so that it can more accurately measure wind speed. Each cup is attached to the end of a horizontal arm, each of which is mounted on a central axis, like spokes on a wheel.
Tips: What is The Difference Between an Anemometer and an Air Flow meter?
The key difference between anemometers and air flow meters lies in their measurement targets and application scenarios. Anemometers primarily measure air velocity per unit time (common units are m/s, km/h, etc.), focusing on wind speed, such as outdoor wind speed or airflow velocity at air conditioner outlets. Their core function is to capture the velocity of airflow. Air flow meters, on the other hand, measure the volume of air passing through a specific cross-section per unit time (common units are m³/h, L/s, etc.), focusing on total wind volume, such as calculating air flow through ventilation ducts or ventilation systems. The two are related, and the choice depends on actual needs: if you're interested in speed, choose an anemometer; if you're interested in volume flow, choose an air flow meter.
