Calculated based on NWS Heat Index (HI) tables. Measurement range limited by extent of published tables

Kestrel KESTREL 1000 Rotary Vane Anemometer, 40m/s Max

With a simple three button operation the Kestrel 1000 wind meter offers readings in mph, km/h, ft/min, m/s, knots and Beaufort. This handheld anemometer (wind speed meter) is drop-tested to MIL-STD-810F making it extremely durable as well as being waterproof it can also float in water. inch|25 mm diameter impeller with precision axle and low-friction Zytel® bearings. Startup speed stated as lower limit, readings may be taken down to 0.4 m/s | 79 ft/min | 1.5 km/h | .9 mph | .8 kt after impeller startup. Off-axis accuracy -1% @ 5º off-axis; -2% @ 10º; -3% @ 15º. Calibration drift < 1% after 100 hours use at 16 MPH | 7 m/s. Replacement impeller (NK PN-0801) field installs without tools (US Patent 5,783,753). Wind speed calibration and testing should be done with triangle on impeller located at the top front face of the Kestrel. *F/S only in Ballistics units. Beaufort not available in Ballistics units. Our in-depth knowledge and experience gives us a unique Space Heritage. Our camera cores are SWaP optimised, athermalised and ruggedised to withstand launch conditions and maintain optical performance while being exposed to the extreme operating conditions experienced in the space environment. We offer flight-ready COTS options as well as custom OEM designs.The operation is straightforward, with 3 easy to use buttons, data can be viewed in average, current or maximum displays. The buttons also provide a data hold function. Auto switch off the device, 45 minutes after the last key press helps to preserve battery life. The wind speed displayed is a 3 second rolling average. This allows the unit to provide a value that is more representative of the typical, ambient conditions rather than peak speeds for instantaneous blasts of air.

Our How-Tos section has those answers and more. The Kestrel 1000 handheld wind speed meter (anemometer) is a simple, reliable and extremely accurate air velocity measurement device delivering current, average and maximum wind speed readings, you can easily change between mph, km/h, ft/min, m/s, knots and Beaufort. This is the meter of choice for crane operators and water sports enthusiasts alike. Image Credit: Kestrel The Kestrel 1000 might only measure wind, but we feel it’s a much better option (and more accurate) than the BTMeter BT-100. Which handheld weather station is the most durable? Extremely low dark current – Deep cooled to -90°C with air and liquid or -80°C with air only to enable long exposure times

There is a noticeable step down in overall construction and durability in the Ambient Weather WM-5, but it’s still overall well constructed. The BTMeter BT-100 does feel considerably cheaper and less well-made than either the Kestrel or Ambient Weather weather meters.

Firmware features including 3-point NUC, ALPD functionality, image flip, crosshair, edge and contrast enhancementFor nearly 20 years on the portable weather meter market, the Kestrel 1000 is still one of the most reliable handheld weather meters. A less accurate wind meter will only compound that error. We always recommend considering accuracy first before price, even if you’re looking for a budget model. Durability Other options, like the Ambient Weather WM-5 and Kestrel 3500 series meters are a great mix of affordability and functionality.
