The air velocity is a value that can be important in many areas. The focus here is primarily on the values in a ventilation duct, but it can also be useful to measure the air velocity inside rooms. At this point, the use of an anemometer is helpful.
The anemometer is also referred to as a wind speed meter. In most cases, you can not only measure the wind speed, but also record the volume flow. Many anemometers therefore have an integrated flow meter. The air flow velocity and the volume flow inside rooms have an influence on the indoor air quality. As these are influencing factors that are usually not recognisable at first glance, regular measurement is all the more important.
If you would like to buy a thermal anemometer, the following features are particularly helpful:

Measuring the wind speed is not only an interesting way of finding out more about the climate outside the home. The wind speed measuring device is now also being used more and more frequently indoors. In this context, it is referred to as a thermal anemometer.
The vane anemometer is very commonly used in this area. This device has a probe head that can be used to measure the air velocity and the volume flow. Temperatures of up to 140°C can occur with a model that is suitable for the measurement of high temperatures and the anemometer will continue to carry out accurate measurements.
Some devices that you can purchase from Testo have a permanently installed probe for measuring flows. These instruments are used, for example, to carry out functional tests in ventilation and air conditioning systems. Flow velocities develop in a ventilation duct. Checking these flow velocities is an important factor in checking whether there may be a negative influence on indoor air quality. Measurement of the flow velocity using a thermal anemometer also enables calculation of the volume flow.
Wind measurement inside rooms with an anemometer is carried out if there are uncertainties about the air currents and air temperature. The reason for this can be construction defects or leaky windows. In some cases, the flows are so small that they cannot always be identified immediately. However, they can be quickly detected by using an instrument as sensitive as an anemometer.
Conduct wind measurement indoors as well
Measurement of volume flows possible
Measurement of the air temperature possible
Evaluation and image documentation possible
In today's world, it can be particularly helpful to use an anemometer that also has a smartphone connection. This makes it much easier to analyse and receive the values. You can order a thermal anemometer with smartphone operation from Testo.
The model is able to measure the volume flows and temperatures as well as the air velocity. The measured values are then sent to an app. This enables you to obtain the values directly and analyze them, as well as comparing them to other measurements.
A flow meter or a wind speed meter that has a connection to a smartphone also ensures that it is easier to carry out measurements in ventilation ducts in particular. The Apps which are available for the instruments are also very easy to use and have an intuitive user interface.

Easy handling
If you want to buy a wind speed meter, you will find a selection of different models at Testo. Classic anemometers for measuring air flows are also included, as well as pure flow meters or combination devices that can also be used to take temperature measurements.
The thermal anemometer has various areas of application. You benefit from simple handling and fast transfer of values. If you want an even easier evaluation, you can also opt for a model with a smartphone connection.
Wind measurement can be carried out using a variety of instruments. This also includes the volume flow measuring hood. However, this is designed primarily to be able to read the volume flow. It was developed for use on ceiling outlets and can take precise measurements.
It is easy and convenient to operate. It is possible to create a report with the help of an App.
In addition to volume flow, it also measures relative humidity and temperature. Efficient results can therefore be achieved in combination with a wind speed meter, which deals with air flows.
It is interesting to take a look at the impeller anemometer as a flow measuring device and as a measuring device for air velocity. This device is also very suitable for outdoor wind measurement. Testo offers versions that allow you to take measurements on the ventilation grilles quickly and easily. You also have the option of measuring the air temperature and air velocities. The calculation of various parameters is offered. All you need to do is press a button on the anemometer.
