Model 05305 R. M. Young Wind Monitor AQ

Meets EPA - PSD

The Wind Monitor-AQ is a high resolution wind sensor for air quality applications. The wind speed direction sensor combines low threshold, fast response, and excellent fidelity to meet important regulatory standards.

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Ambient Monitoring Guidelines for Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD).

U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Agency NRC Regulatory Guide 1.23 Meteorological Programs in Support of Nuclear Power Plants.

American Nuclear Society Standard for Determining Meteorological Information at Power Plants.

This R.M. Young wind sensor utilizes a lightweight, carbon fiber thermoplastic (CFT), helicoid propeller. The wind speed direction sensor is a lightweight, balanced vane. The instrument body is UV stabilized plastic with stainless steel and anodized aluminum fittings. The 05305 R.M. Young wind sensor mounts on standard 1 inch pipe. The Wind Monitor-AQ is available with two additional output signal options: Model 05305V offers calibrated voltage outputs. Model 05305L provides 4-20 mA current signals.
