Introducing the RS PRO Hot-Wire Anemometer, ideal for measuring wind speed, airflow volume, temperature and humidity in a wide range of environments. This high-quality anemometer has been designed for the measurement of air velocity and air temperature and provides rapid, accurate readings without compromising on quality or performance. In addition to this, the RS-72H probe is equipped with Bluetooth technology that enables the user to easily transmit measured data and instrument status to a smartphone or Bluetooth-enabled device, making it ideal for use in areas like ventilation ducts or harder to access areas where readings aren't easy to display. The compact anemometer uses a high-precision thermal wire sensor to deliver precise readings, even at low wind speeds, as well as simultaneously measuring the air temperature, making this pocket-sized anemometer ideal for engineers, service technicians and scientists.

Anemometers are used to measure environmental conditions quickly and accurately. The information and data they provide are vital in a wide range of applications and environments. They are essential for reporting, forecasting and planning and more importantly health and safety. Some of the more common applications are:

• HVAC and construction


• Sailing, boating and windsurfing


• Climbing and hiking


• Aviation, wind direction, airflow, and gust


• Weather stations and meteorological studies


• Calibration laboratories

Yes, the RS PRO hot wire anemometer uses 3 1.5V batteries for its power supply and a replacement battery can be found using RS Stock number 917-6581

An anemometer is a measurement device that has a sensor or sensing unit that is used to measure wind speed and is commonly used to measure and monitor meteorological and industrial applications such as velocity, flow rate, heat transfer, air flow, gas flow, and much more.
