National Measurement Standard for Air Flow Velocity
E+E Elektronik Ges.m.b.H. has been commissioned by the Federal Office of Metrology and Surveying (BEV) to provide a national standard for measuring air flow velocity.
The BEV, which is not directly active in the field of air flow velocity, has found an expert partner in the sensor specialists at E+E.
For E+E Elektronik, this is the second measurement standard that BEV has commissioned the company to provide. Since 2004, E+E Elektronik has been entrusted as "designated institute" with the national measurement standard for humidity.
E+E Elektronik not only maintains the national measurement standards but also continually engages in research and development in this field. The necessary metrological services for Austria are also provided by E+E Elektronik.
At the E+E calibration lab, two wind tunnels are available to calibrate air speed:
- One free-stream wind tunnel up to 40 m/s with integrated temperature control up to 80°C
- One special wind tunnel for the low-flow range between 0.04 and 2 m/s.
Measurement uncertainties smaller than 0.5% of the measured value underscores the high standards of the calibration lab.
