Product Description
Wind direction will be measure with a wind vane (see diagram), wind direction is the compass point from which the wind is coming south, southwest, west etc. The unit of measurement for wind direction is therefore compass direction. User plot the wind direction for each day of the month on a special graph called a wind rose i.e. Wind Vane is manufactured as per IS:5799:1970 which indicates the direction of wind at the point of observation.

FAQs of Wind Vane:
Q: How do I use the Wind Vane for measuring wind direction?
A: To use the Wind Vane, simply install it in an open area with minimal obstructions, ensuring it is positioned upright. Rotate the manual mechanism to align the vane with the wind, and observe the direction indicated. Refer to the user manual for detailed instructions.
Q: What is the benefit of a manual wind direction measurement instrument?
A: Manual wind vanes do not require electricity or batteries, offering uninterrupted operation and durability. This ensures you can obtain reliable wind direction data every day, especially in remote or off-grid locations.
Q: When should I utilize this wind vane for accurate readings?
A: For optimal accuracy, use the wind vane during periods of steady wind and place it in open outdoor locations away from trees or buildings that could disrupt airflow. You can use it every day, thanks to its manual operation and robust construction.
Q: Where is the ideal place to install the wind vane?
A: The wind vane should be installed outdoors in an open space, preferably elevated and clear of obstacles. Such placement ensures precise measurements of the prevailing wind direction without interference.
Q: What process is involved in setting up the wind vane?
A: Setting up involves securing the wind vane on a stable surface, adjusting its position for vertical alignment, and following the guidelines in the provided user manual. Once positioned correctly, you can manually track wind direction as required.
Q: Does the instrument provide wind speed measurements as well?
A: This particular wind vane primarily measures wind direction. While it is classified under wind speed and direction measurement, wind speed determination is done manually based on the theory outlined in the instruments instructions.
