FIELD CALIBRATION KIT - one of the advantages of the Biral
2-axis Wind Horizon and the 3-axis Wind Professional /
Wind Research ultrasonic anemometers
These sensors have a field
calibration kit so you can carry out your own confidence checks to
reassure yourself that the sensor is functioning accurately.
In the tradition of providing the end user
with a complete system which requires as little service or repair work as possible (and
where possible can be done by the user themselves) Biral are unique by providing an
optional field calibration kit (included as standard with most 3-axis models /
configurations).
The field calibration kit allows the user to
quickly and easily perform not only a user confidence check of the sensor but also to
recalibrate should this be necessary. Within 15 minutes the user can check and perform a
calibration in-situ with no extra tools needed.
This can be an immense time and money saver
especially during expensive campaigns away from the users base. What this also means is
that after the purchase of a Biral ultrasonic anemometer the user can enjoy a lifetime of
use without the product ever needing to be returned to Biral unless there has been some
mechanical damage or an upgrade is desired.
Typically factory calibrations can cost up to
several hundred pounds, without shipping costs, every 2 - 3 years and cause operational
delays. With the Biral ultrasonic this is now a thing of the past.
The calibration kit with hood support expanded
To carry our a calibration
1. Record the temperature around the sensor with the
thermometer.
2. Measure the path lengths between the transducers with
the vernier calipers.
3. Fit the hood support on the sensor head.
4. Place the hood over the hood support and tighten the
draw string to secure.
5. Run the calibration procedure described in the User
Manual.
