Anemosonic UA30 ultrasonic anemometer
Ultrasonic techniques are well proven in fluid dynamics
measurement. Anemosonic™ advanced design now takes this
technology much further into the field of clean air and gas flow velocity measurement with a "mini sensor". Using three energised " posts", sound waves are transmitted sequentially 3840 times every second. The time taken for a sound to travel from one post to another and for a wave to return over the same precise distance is measured. The instruments software calculations overcome variables such as the speed of sound and other dynamic corrections including turbulence and vector to establish true velocity. By using the speed of sound, @ 340.3 m/sec in standard air as a "carrier" the true velocity can be
calculated with 100% certainty and repeatability. Any changes in ambient temperature, barometric pressure, RH and gas density conditions are rendered irrelevant permitting Anemosonic™ UA30 to be used in mixed air/inert gas density situations without any need for corrections, re-calibration or complex calculations.The Anemosonic™ UA30 is a major advance in reliable ultrasonic measurement techniques by being truly portable, with a sensor less than 45mm across and adaptable by offering a choice of hand held or stand alone monitoring. Exceptional accuracy is achieved by electronically sampling the velocity at an incredible, 3,840 times every second. Turbulence and air speed vectors can also be determined.

UA30 universally suitable for velocity and flow measurement of any air or inert gas media, even at very low levels. Calibrated for life during manufacture to international standards using sophisticated laser Doppler methods, annual re-calibration is a cost of the past. With no moving parts, repair costs are virtually eliminated under normal usage.

Anemosonic™ UA30 offers a choice of many simple and helpful yet powerful user friendly features including an articulating telescopic extension handle, selectable velocity readings in m/sec, km/h, knots, mph of ft/min and volume flow in cfm or m³/sec, with percentage air speed turbulence indication and automatic vector compensation up to ± 20° from the centre line. Temperature display is in °C or °F. Readings can be recalled, reviewed and downloaded via the analogue output or through the RS232 interface to a mini printer or by seamless interface with a PC for manipulation in WINDOWS® software.
