Kestrel 2000 Wind Meter

Product Information

Handheld anemometers are handy tools that can be used to measure wind speed. These devices are lightweight, easy to use, affordable, and come in many different styles. When choosing the best handheld anemometer, there are several factors that you must consider to ensure it is compatible with your needs and preferences. Accuracy studying wind patterns – anemometers can help researchers understand how wind moves and where it travels;

Every Kestrel Meter features a large, 1" user replaceable impeller mounted on a sapphire jewel bearing, which means it starts rotating with the slightest puff of air. This patented impeller is user-replaceable by simply pushing it out with your thumbs, which means it can easily be replaced if it is damaged or worn. The measurements from the wind impeller are taken magnetically. The impeller is not glued or attached to the unit. Because every new impeller is calibrated in a custom wind tunnel at our USA based factory, if your application demands regular calibration, simply pop in a new impeller and the Kestrel Wind Meter is restored to like-new factory calibration standards. So, when looking for a handheld anemometer, make sure to consider its various connectivity features and see if they meet your needs. Durability and Warrantysailing – sailors use anemometers to measure wind direction and speed so they can adjust their sails accordingly; The amount to tension of pressure measured on the shrouds. Rig tension helps control the mast bend. With more rig tension the mast will have more bend but will also be more stable. With less rig tension the mast will be straighter and our sail controls (vang, mainsheet, Cunningham) will have more affect on mast bend. Spreader Length-

This sleek beast is waiting for you to claim it. Take the helm with confidence knowing its two smooth SA-3110 computer-controlled turbines are there with you every step of the way, completely silent even at low speeds, so you can keep your focus on the wind.

One more thing that affects the accuracy of readings is the type of anemometer. Of these, the hot wire type is the most accurate but they can be quite expensive so if you are on a budget then a vane or sonic anemometer would be more suitable. Durability depends on such factors as the type of material used, how well it’s sealed against water and dust, and how strong the casing is. You don’t want to have to replace your anemometer every year because it’s not durable enough. Thanks to the patented external temperature sensor and waterproof construction, the Kestrel 2000 weather meter can take accurate water and snow temperature readings, and since it is isolated from the case, you can be sure that the temperature reading is accurate and not influenced by your hand warming the unit.

Use With A Vane Mount - The Kestrel Basic Series Vane Mount is the perfect accessory option to help discover wind direction and for a hands-free experience Air, water or snow temperature. Hermetically-sealed, precision thermistor mounted externally and thermally isolated (US Patent 5,939,645) for rapid response. Airflow of 2.2 mph | 1 m/s or greater provides fastest response and reduction of insulation effect. Calibration drift negligible.

Handheld wind speed weather station meters and handheld weather stations measure the velocity, force, or speed of wind. Different handheld wind meters use different methods to calculate the measured values. land management – anemometers can help people who manage land decide when to plant crops or harvest trees.

There are two basic types of wind speed meter, handheld weather station or ‘anemometers’ and wind-speed measurements that are built into weather stations.

Portability: Handheld anemometers are small and lightweight, making them easy to carry around. This makes them perfect for use in fieldwork or other on-the-go applications.
