It is well known that Man measures everything! To then combine data then analyze it and thus deal with mountains of subjects! Whether scientist, cook, doctor, architect, physicist or meteorologist, Man has been measuring since the dawn of time. It measures body temperature, the atmospheric pressure, humidity, air quality or even that of water, as he measures the temperature of a confectionery so that it is perfect ora cold room to ensure the conservation conditions of what it contains. Man therefore measures Man creates the measuring devices which allow him to advance ever further in his research. As you will suspect, there is a meteorological instrument allowing you to capture and then measure wind speed or pressure. This device is called an anemometer thermometer. Us temperature sensor experts guides you through this discovery.
What is an anemometer thermometer? 💨
For our maritime and air travel or for the production of wind energy. We need to predict and understand winds through precise measurements. We use different tools like the weather vane to know the wind direction or even the windsock to measure its force. Well to precisely measure its speed, we use a anemometer thermometer.
If we are to believe the definition in our favorite encyclopedia, Wikipedia, an anemometer thermometer is one of the meteorological measuring instruments used to record the values of atmospheric parameters. The anemometer is a special device that offers us the possibility of measuring wind speed or pressure. Quite simply !
The different types of anemometer thermometers 🌪
Our experts in temperature sensors retain two types of anemometer thermometers main: as the air moves, or as the pressure changes caused by this movement. These devices are most often placed on a pylon called an anemometric mast. The height of which depends both on the nature of the site observed (for example on a weather buoy compared to a terrestrial meteorological station). And the objective of the measurements (for example research on ground-atmosphere exchanges or for aviation).
The speed anemometer
If we go back to the history of anemometer thermometer, we see that there are several variants: cup, propeller, pinwheel, hot wire, ultrasonic, bidirectional, acoustic resonance or laser anemometer thermometers; and we are only talking about speed anemometers.
Among all these models of anemometer thermometer, the most frequently used in meteorology, in industry or even in construction, it is thepinwheel anemometer, today often coupled with a data logger. This measuring device is particularly simple to use, and very practical since it adapts to all environments.
The pressure anemometer
If the speed anemometer is widespread to understand the wind, its strength or its speed among many professionals who have made the thermometer a daily ally, there is also thepressure anemometer. Our measuring device experts offer several anemometer thermometers. You can find the one with a plate, a ball, a tube or a sliding plate (called a ventimeter).
The simplest use of this type of anemometer consists of a square or round plate held facing the wind by a weather vane. We measure the force exerted by the wind on the plate. Just as simple to understand and more fun to test in physics class is the ball anemometer thermometer. Its principle is simple. It is based on the speed limit reached by a spherical ball in free fall. And if Manau would have sung that the wind blew on the plains of Armorican Brittany, it is at the Paimpol sea museum that you will see the Daloz anemometer.
The anemometer multifunction
As a construction professional or if you work in a weather station, it is likely that you need a professional anemometer thermometer which simultaneously displays speed, air volume and outside temperature. Well, the experts at Thermometre.fr assure you, this little gem of technology does indeed exist. Equipped with an LCD screen to display information in real time and a data recorder which will allow you to highlight certain analyzes downstream of your measurements, themultifunction anemometer is the most used today.
Other types of measuring devices 🌡
Of course, you will find on the market, different types of thermometers useful in many other areas of activity. Do not hesitate to look at the different types of measuring devices on the Thermométrie.fr Mag’:
- The thermometer with mercury or without mercury
- The electronic/digital thermometer
- The mechanical thermometer
- The IR/laser thermometer
- The gallium thermometer
- The multifunction thermometer
- Thermometer vs logger
- The thermometer with probe
- The bubble thermometer
- Thermometer vs pH meter
- Thermometer vs hygrometer
- Thermometer vs thermocouple
- Thermometer vs Thermostat
For more information or if you would like guidance in your thermometer search, call one of the experts at Thermométrie.fr who will be able to advise you according to your use. And to go further and have one of your professional thermometers tested. It is possible to obtain an ISO calibration certificate for anemometers, for example.
