Gill Instruments Ltd announces the launch of a new anenometer – the R-350Keywords: Ultrasonic, Sensors

Gill Instruments Ltd, a leading electronics and ultrasonic anemometer specialists, is pleased to announce a new addition to its extensive range, the R3-50 (Plate 1).

Designed in response to customer requests, the R3-50 employs the latest electronic components combined with Gill's vast experience in producing ultrasonic anemometers for the micrometeorological research market. Complementing the existing range of three axis research anemometers, the R3-50 uses advances from the mass produced WindMaster Pro and software from the highly successful R3, to offer a highly competitive 50Hz sensor.

With no moving parts, the R3-50 is virtually maintenance free and requires no calibration and provides an ideal solution for users doing research with slow large eddies at high mast levels. Having identical output formats and sharing the same operating software as the R3, the R3-50 is particularly suited to applications where a complete wind profile is required; with a R3 positioned near to the ground and the R3-50 positioned at a higher level.

The R3-50, like all wind sensors supplied by Gill, is rigorously tested to internationally recognised standards and meets the stringent performance criteria specified by meteorological, naval and airport authorities and oil and utility companies around the world.
