Hand-held unit HFA

A handy and easy-to-use All associated Höntzsch vane wheel

anemometer for measuring flow flow sensors with appropriate plug
velocity, volume flow and can be connected to the HFA display
temperature of air/gases and unit:
water/liquids. • sensors designed as probes or
measuring tubes, also for
±directional sensing of flow
Measurable variables are the flow • sensors with integrated tempera-
velocity v in m/s, the volume flow ture probe PT100
V/t in m³/h or l/min and the
temperature t in °C. • temperature probes PT100

Examples of Application

• measurements in outgoing air, • using velocity area method to

exhaust gases, flue gases, determine the flow rate or the
process gases … also in average flow velocity by approval
