Air Flow Meter (Anemometer): Measurement and Applications

This page explores the air flow meter, commonly known as an Anemometer, a crucial piece of equipment in avionics and various other industries.

What is an Anemometer?

An Anemometer is used to measure wind speed and air temperature. Essentially, it’s an indicator that spins in the direction of the wind, providing a direct measurement of the wind’s speed.

Applications

Anemometers are widely used, especially in the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) industry to measure the air flow of air conditioners.
