METEOROLOGYBiral
is an established supplier of meteorological instruments offering one of the largest
ranges of products available. Our scope extends from sensors to measure wind, temperature
precipitation, visibility, solar radiation and other standard parameters to present
weather sensors and complete weather stations.
Equipment is available to suit all needs from basic monitoring to fundamental research. In addition to a long tradition of promoting and selling other manufacturers’ equipment Biral designs and manufactures its own equipment. The Biral manufactured HSS Visibility and Present Weather sensors provide outstanding levels of accuracy and performance. The unmatched reliability and durability is reflected in their extensive use in critical applications such as marine navigational aids, roadside fog warning and airport RVR systems. The first sensors to use forward scatter in combination with an infra-red LED light source, the HSS range remains at the forefront of visibility and present weather measurement. Wind measurement is a major focus of the Biral meteorological product range. We can provide everything from simple cup and vane systems to sophisticated instruments for micrometeorology or atmospheric boundary layer research. This approach allows Biral to perfectly match the equipment to the application and budget needs of the customer. Working closely with leading ultrasonic anemometer manufacturers Biral has helped to develop both national and international markets. Biral remains a major supplier of ultrasonic anemometers with an unmatched knowledge of their use and applications. As a dedicated member of the scientific community Biral actively participates in European scientific projects such as CRAFT and belongs to the Royal Meteorological Society, the American Meteorological Society andthe European Meteorological Society. top of page To Meteorology Site |

PARTICLE ANALYSIS Biral designs and manufactures a family of devices based on our unique ASAS (Aerosol Size And Shape) Technology that characterise particle populations according to size, shape, concentration and fluorescence in real-time. The range of applications for these devices is broad but the principal markets are military and civil defence biodetection, pharmaceutical research and development, process control and scientific research. In addition to analysis instruments, Biral supplies high performance particle generators with applications in aerosol science and pharmaceuticals. top of page To Particle Analysis Site |

BIODETECTION Biral’s unique ASAS Technology is the platform for a family of biodetection sensor products which have been used for over six years by the British Armed forces in battlefield detection systems. These sensors have also been adopted in civil defence systems. Developed for real-time biodetection, ASAS Technology uses a laser light scattering technique which was originally an invention of the University of Hertfordshire and the Defence Science and Technology Laboratories (UK MoD). Biral has since developed these ideas into commercial products. The technology was subsequently adopted in the British Armed Forces PBDS and IBDS biodetection systems. Biral is now set to enhance ASAS Technology for next generation sensors which will combine particle size and shape characterisation with fluorescence measurements. top of page To Biodetection Site |
