Description
Focuses on the often overlooked advantages of vane anemometer technology. Points out that many modern refinements have been added making this type of instrument worthy of consideration for use today. Notes its principal advantage that unlike many alternative technologies, it is virtually independent of density changes in the flowing media. Notes the use of the vane anemometer for fume hood face velocity measurement. Compares vane anemometers and thermal anemometers and draws distinctions between their use for performance-type testing and routine maintenance purposes. Reports on European use with reference to the first editions of BS 7258 (BSI 1990) and the significant changes in the 1994 second edition.
