Flow meter
There are different designs of flow meters. It is also available as an anemometer and can be used in a variety of areas. There are some sectors, particularly in the industrial field, where flow measurement plays an important role. In addition to duct measurement, these also include outlet measurement, and filter measurement.
Whether you use a vane anemometer or a volume flow hood for measurement is dependent on the conditions. It is important for you to have a look at the individual instruments for flow measurement and to decide which models best meet your needs.

A detailed look at the fields of application is helpful when it comes to deciding which flow meter is suitable, as they are frequently used for duct measurements, where they are used to enable airspeed to be controlled in the duct. The ventilation duct is one of the most important core elements of air conditioning and ventilation systems. The use of flow meters is ideal for measurements in these areas.
However, it is not only air conditioning systems that need to be efficient. This aspect should not be underestimated when it comes to duct outlets either. Outlet measurement is another factor which needs to be taken into account when measuring flow. An anemometer is great help in this respect. Even small changes in volume flow can affect the system.
The influence of airspeed on the ambient conditions in different rooms is underestimated. The comfort level that a person experiences in a room is heavily dependent on the environment. Temperature and humidity, as well as airspeed, all have an influence on this. A thermal anemometer is commonly used in these areas. However, a vane anemometer may also be a good choice in terms of obtaining effective values.
In relation to flow measurement, it is worth testing on air conditioning systems. Air conditioning systems are equipped with a filter, and regular maintenance is advisable to ensure their optimum operation. Filter measurement can be carried out using an anemometer. This is the only way to prevent dirt from being able to find its way inside through the filter and harming the indoor air.
Flow measurement can become a challenge if you do not have the appropriate instruments available. When you are searching for a flow meter, it is important for you to check exactly what values will be recorded by the instrument.
A vane anemometer has different features from a thermal anemometer or a volume flow hood. It is possible to measure flow with various instruments, however, they are variable in terms of the specific features. For example, a vane anemometer is capable of timed and multi-point mean value calculations, where this may not be provided by an air velocity and IAQ measuring instrument.
Air velocity & IAQ measuring instruments are capable of more than just wind speed applications. They are some of our most popular flow meters and are capable of much more than just measuring flow. The focus here is also on temperature and pressure, as well as humidity and heat. For instance: This means you are able to analyze the environment precisely and to respond quickly when changes occur.
High sensitivity in terms of measuring data
Fast analysis
Easy operation
Let's go back to indoor flow measurement. In this area, an anemometer is also an ideal choice to make measuring easier. The vane anemometer, or the addition of a vane probe to an anemometer, enables measurement of volume flow and flow rate.
The measuring ranges provide information about what the maximum strength is for flow recording. However, flow measurement can also be carried out using a differential pressure measuring instrument. This can be easily fitted on a ventilation duct. Additional accessories for flow measurement may be required, however you will find everything you want at Testo.

It may also make sense to measure wind speed outdoors. There are several areas where this is an important factor. The Vane Anemometer is designed to carry out spot measurements. In this respect, Testo's instruments are not just capable of implementing one unit, but of working together with other Testo instruments. Vane anemometers are very effective for these applications. Depending on the model, it is able to offer different displays. This enables you to choose between windchill and Beaufort calculation, as well as between cfm, fpm, mph or also kts, km/h, and m/s values.
Are you convinced of the benefits of using a flow meter? You will find the exact instrument for your needs at Testo. You can choose from a variety of models. In doing so, you have the option of following different routes. Both indoor and outdoor measurements are possible with Testo instruments. In some cases, you can also take advantage of smartphone operation which makes the meters even easier to use.
