Vane anemometers are classic air flow meters which are very commonly used, not only outdoors, but also indoors. Easy handling makes it possible to measure air flow quickly using vane anemometers.
Many of the instruments also have features enabling volume flow and temperatures to be recorded. This enables easier data analysis.
When buying a vane anemometer, it is helpful to consider some important features:
Measurement of airspeed, volume flow and temperature
Recording of values
Smart App compatible

Measuring air speed is a concept that many users associate above all with outdoor use. However, anemometers can be used indoors as well. It may make sense to use one for the measurement of air velocities in rooms. Ventilation systems are based on air velocity, temperature, and humidity. If these values are not correct or change, it may affect the indoor air quality. The problem here is that it is not always easy to control ventilation systems.
This is where the anemometer is ideal. Depending on the design, it can be inserted into the ventilation shaft via a telescopic probe, so measurements can be made from a distance. The vane anemometer is ideally suited for this, certain models are fitted with a telescopic probe. This makes it very easy to do a flow measurement in the duct. However, outdoor use is also possible.

Easy to handle, even in confined spaces
Depending on the instrument, you can measure more than just air speed, it can also be used as a flow measurement instrument. Testo also offers anemometer capable of measuring the dewpoint and wet bulb temperature, as well as wind speeds. These values, in combination with the air speed and air temperature, are important for in depth analysis. These vane anemometers have a built-in vanes, available in different diameters.
For flow measurement, you have the option of using a volume flow hood as well. The combination of different measuring instruments is fundamental, particularly when you are reliant on efficient and detailed values. In this case, it is worthwhile combining different instruments, such as the flow meters, thermal anemometers ,and volume flow hood
Interested in a SMART Anemometer? This is possible with anemometers with testo Smart App connectivity. The testo Smart App enables measurements to be forwarded directly to the smartphone, where they displayed, but also analyzed and compared with other measurements. This means you can quickly establish if there are changes in the air velocity which need to be readjusted. testo SMART Anemometers make measuring easier for you. You do not need to measure the values directly on the anemometer or have these sent to a system, saving both time and cost.

Error-free analysis within the Smart App
Intuitive operation
As already mentioned, a vane anemometer is capable of measuring more than air velocity. Other measurement data can also be recorded by the anemometer, such as air flow, humidity, and temperature. A combination of these data points can provide important information about the air quality.
If you work in the air conditioning field or if you need more data, Testo also offer anemometers that measure dewpoint. This means that deeper analyses are also possible.
Vane anemometers can easily be used for spot measurements. These short measurements provide a quick overview of the required data. In addition, the instruments can also to be used for outdoor measurements, ensuring to operate under safe conditions.
Testo offers anemometers which display multiple measurements simultaneously, such as m/s, fpm, mph, km/h and kts. It is also possible to carry out Beaufort and windchill calculations based on these values. Advantages of air velocity measurement using an anemometer:
Air velocity measurement in a variety of values
windchill calculation
Beaufort calculation
