Air Velocity Meters

Industrial environments depend on consistent, controlled airflow to protect product quality, maintain comfort, and support production uptime. TSI air velocity meters deliver accurate measurements that help you benchmark, troubleshoot, and fine-tune ventilation across manufacturing spaces, from high-bay areas and process lines to labs and clean zones.

Built for industrial use, these handheld anemometers offer:

• Measurement you can trust: Thermal (hot-wire) and rotating vane sensing for low to high velocities, with stable calibration and temperature compensation.
• Multi-parameter capability: Many models measure air velocity, temperature, and relative humidity, with derived volume flow for duct and grille assessments.
• Fast, repeatable results: Rapid response and statistical functions (min/max/avg) help you validate performance and document results quickly.
• Data you can use: Onboard logging, time stamping, and export via USB or wireless options simplify compliance records and continuous improvement projects.
• Robust ergonomics: Slim probes reach tight registers; durable housings stand up to field use and frequent transport.

Where they add value:

• HVAC commissioning and balancing: Verify fan curves, set VAV boxes, and confirm diffuser performance with consistent, repeatable methods.
• Process ventilation: Check capture velocity at hoods, welding bays, and localized exhaust points to support quality and worker comfort.
• Energy optimization: Identify overventilation and underperforming zones to help reduce energy consumption without compromising performance targets.
• Troubleshooting: Pinpoint drafts, pressure imbalances, and airflow anomalies that can affect throughput or product yield.
• Clean and controlled spaces: Trend low velocities near critical processes and validate laminar flow profiles with high-resolution probes.

Practical features for industrial teams:

• Clear user interface with guided prompts, averaging routines, and density correction options.
• Rugged probe designs suited for ducts, plenums, and diffusers.
• Flexible reporting workflows, including configurable data sets and export formats.
• Accessory support such as extension probes and mounting aids to reach challenging locations.

Selection guidance:

• Choose thermal anemometers for low-velocity diagnostics, clean environments, and tight spaces where directional flow matters.
• Choose rotating vane meters for higher velocities and larger openings like grilles, exhausts, and return air paths.
• Look for models with integrated temperature and humidity when psychrometrics or comfort diagnostics are part of your workflow.
• Consider logging capacity and connectivity based on documentation needs and audit frequency.

Compliance support:
Air velocity measurements help support adherence to ventilation guidance and standards commonly referenced in industrial settings. TSI meters provide reliable data that can be incorporated into quality records, facility maintenance logs, and environmental health and safety programs.

Service and support:
TSI backs your instruments with calibration services, technical support, and application guidance to keep your measurements consistent over time. Teams working across multiple sites can standardize methods and reporting with common tools and training.
