Benefits and Features

Compatible with most Campbell Scientific data loggers

Especially suited for monitoring vertical wind, but can be mounted to monitor the wind in whatever direction is desired

Carbon-fiber thermoplastic (CFT) propeller provides greater range and durability than other propeller anemometers offered by R M. Young.

Technical Description

The 27106T, manufactured by R. M. Young, measures air velocity using a fast-response, four-blade helicoid propeller that drives a high quality tech-generator transducer. The transducer converts the propeller's rotation to a DC voltage that is linearly proportional to air velocity.

The 27106T should be oriented with the propeller facing the predominant flow of air being measured. Its propeller responds only to the component of the air flow, which is parallel to the axis of its rotation. Off-axis response closely approximates a cosine curve with appropriate polarity. With perpendicular air flow, the propeller does not rotate.
