Anemometers are an important category of environmental sensor. Articles about their design, data capture, and linearization have comprised topics featured in EDN Design Ideas, several quite recently.

Among the methods available for airflow measurement, thermal flow meters enjoy the virtues of simplicity. They also offer simple construction, low cost, and superior sensitivity to low flow rates ...

Designed for thermally characterizing electronic packages, the portable ATVS-NxT hot-wire anemometer scans up to 32 sensors to take air-velocity and temperature readings. Sensors are calibrated for ...

Room pressures can be measured using a micromanometer to determine if one room is at a different pressure than an adjacent room or hallway. Isolation rooms in hospitals, for example, maintain a ...

Supply flow into an occupied space is generally a mixture of return air and fresh outdoor air that has been filtered and then conditioned through heating or cooling coils. This volume of supply air ...
