How do hot-wire anemometers measure air velocity?
They measure the air speed by calculating how fast the probe sensor is being cooled by the airflow.
Does the unit come with an NIST traceable certificate?
Yes, all our instruments come with a calibration certificate.
How often does the unit need to be calibrated?
Annual calibration is recommended to ensure accuracy. However, this can vary based on how often the anemometer is used and the environments it’s used in. Also, some companies have an SOP in place that specifies how often the instrument will need to be serviced. More specifically, regulatory compliance may dictate the calibration interval.
What kinds of airflow can I measure with my Kanomax anemometer?
You can measure clean air between -4 and 158°F (-20 to 70°C) in an environment with no visible condensation. (Please note: the temperature range given is for the probes)
Can I measure airflow in flammable and corrosive gases?
No, these are thermal anemometers that generate heat when in operation; if you expose them to a flammable gas it could cause a fire or explosion. Corrosive or caustic gases, such a chlorine, will damage the sensor on contact. While it is possible to use the instrument in a non-flammable, non-caustic gases the instrument is not calibrated for these gases and it will not measure airflow accurately.
What multi-channel options are available from Kanomax?
We have three multi-channel anemometers: The 1570 is a 4-channel anemometer that just measure air velocity. The 1550 and 1560 have more channels (16 and 6 respectively) and can also measure temperature and relative humidity. These two units can be operated in a cascade configuration where multiple units can be chained together to create more channels.
How do I order a multi-channel system?
These systems are designed for flexibility so you can buy exactly what you need for your specific application. The 4-channel 1570 is easy to order as it requires only the main unit and then whichever probes and cables suit your application. The 1550 and 1560 are a bit more complex as these instruments are composed of the chassis, modules, cables and probes. Each probe must have the correct corresponding module installed in the chassis to plug into. We suggest calling your distributor or Kanomax to get assistance with ordering these systems.
What is included with Models 1550 and 1560?
Data processing software, RS232C cable, power cable and 2 pcs. fuse.
The Climomaster probes are listed as interchangeable, what does that mean?
