Be careful with this strategy, however- when I tried it on my wife, she asked why my face was so red. You could show this to your friends and attempt to convince them that conditions are just too marginal for safety-best to make another pot of coffee and get out the Thermaloungers. The AAVM-10 is a pocket sized anemometer that features a robust design that protects the unit to IP-67 (IEC standard 60529). I found that, with hyperventilation and an all-out effort, I could blow through the Kestrel hard enough to register a 28-knot reading on the “maximum” function. The other situation when a wind meter might come in handy is if you’re with a group of gung-ho companions who are trying to goad you into launching when you feel like lounging on the beach. On a practical basis, you could use the averaging feature to confirm a sense that the breeze was increasing or decreasing over time. However, it’s interesting to compare your gut-level feelings with a real number, and it’s fun to test your instinctual anemometer against the solid-state version-I pass well on lower wind speeds, but tend to exaggerate a bit past 40 knots. I can’t imagine a situation in which I’d base a decision whether or not to paddle solely on the meter reading: if conditions looked too rough to go out but my anemometer said the wind was only blowing 20 knots, would I change my mind and launch anyway? While I like anemometers and use them often when I have one, I have a difficult time thinking of them as a necessary item of kayaking gear. Of course, I keep it in a waterproof pouch anyway. No more guessing or using inaccurate data from miles away. Model 0830 UNSPSC 41112509 Catalog Country of Origin USA. Kestrel 5200 Professional Environmental Meter 279.00 Whether you're pouring concrete, balancing HVAC systems, or monitoring job site conditions, the Kestrel 5200 takes the calculations and guesswork out of your job with integrated specialty calculations. The Kestrel is fully waterproof, and floats as well the slide-off outer case protects the impeller and display screen. KESTREL Anemometer: 3000, Brown Non-Bluetooth, IP67, Thermistor/Rotating Vane, 1.3 to 89.5 mph Item 9U521 Mfr. The anemometer’s impeller of very light structure, has precise, sapphire bearings, what assures accurate wind measurement also with small air speed. The lithium cell of the Skywatch is said to be good for thousands of readings however, once it dies, the unit is trash. Anemometer Kestrel 2000 is a small (pocket size) electronic device equipped with an impeller for current wind speed measurement and a thermistor sensor for air temperature measurement. The Kestrel anemometer reads wind speeds up to 78 knots, a limit that, while somewhat lower than other anemometers, should be academic for any kayakers who aren’t trying out for a BCU instructor’s certificate.Īlthough not as compact as the tiny, lithium-powered Skywatch meter, the Kestrel offers many more functions, and has a replaceable battery. Whether you are on Everest monitoring the weather or in the garden behind your home measuring the temperature of your pool water, your Kestrel anemometer is always reliable and safe.The unit arrived without instructions nevertheless, it took only a couple of minutes to figure out the sequence in pushing the two buttons to access current wind speed, maximum and average speeds, and to switch the display between miles per hour, kilometers per hour, meters per second, feet per minute and knots. You may find less expensive anemometers, but you will never find one that works better than a Kestrel! The owners, Paul Nielsen and Richard Kellerman are dedicated to manufacturing to ensure that each Kestrel Anemometer meets our high standard. We have a staff of engineers who continuously churn out new technologies to make our products stronger, more precise and more functional. NK is based in Boothwyn, Pennsylvania, where we develop and manufacture all our products. We believe that our "obsession - meteorological" results in a large line of products, and a large company. You can be sure that every detail has been carefully examined over and over again. Meteorological instruments are not part of our work but ARE our work. Kestrel 2000 Pocket Wind And Temperature Meter, Digital Thermo Anemometer Accurate, rugged handheld wind /airflow meter with large, replaceable impeller and. A hard slide-on protective case, lanyard, and lithium. Ever since the first Kestrel anemometer was designed by a glider, the name Kestrel seemed so appropriate that we didn't change it. The Kestrel 1000 is the most common handheld wind instrument for a DZSO (Drop Zone Safety Officer).
The glider works like them, flying in the upward currents. The Kestrel is a small hawk that lives all over North America.
