Omega Engineering has introduced the WTM-1000 mini bench-top wind tunnel designed to give air flow calibration for hot-wire or vane-type anemometers.
The WTM-1000 has a highly uniform flow rate at four selectable fixed air speeds.
The fixed air speed ranges from 2.5m/s to 15m/s and has an accuracy of one per cent of setting.
The user can control and vary the wind tunnel air speed externally by connecting a potentiometer.
The internal 10cm diameter test chamber is large enough to accommodate either hot-wire or vane-type anemometers and is powered by 90 to 250 Vac.
Each WTM-1000 comes with a traceable calibration certificate for the four fixed air speeds.
Omega Engineering said the WTM-1000 is suitable for use in sectors where an on-site calibration is required, such as educational establishments, calibration houses and the military.
