NK
developed the Kestrel 1000 Pocket Wind Meter when
NK co-owner, Richard Kellerman, needed a reliable
wind meter for flying his glider. Over 10 years
later, it looks a little slicker, and it still gives
you the reliable, accurate wind measurements that
you need. Every Kestrel Meter features a large,
1” impeller mounted on a sapphire jewel bearing,
which means it starts rotating with the slightest
puff of air – 0.3 mph to be exact! And this
unique impeller is user-replaceable, too, which
means it can easily be replaced if it is damaged
or worn. If your application demands regular calibration,
simply pop in a new impeller and the Kestrel Wind
Meter is restored to like-new factory calibration
standards. The Kestrel 1000 can easily be switched
between mph, km/h, ft/min, m/s, knots and Beaufort.
Certified and Guaranteed Accuracy
Every
single Kestrel manufactured at Nielsen-Kellerman
is calibrated for every single value, either directly
against NIST-traceable standards or against an intermediary
standard that is calibrated daily. Every unit is
shipped with a FREE Certificate of Conformity that
states what calibrations were performed, and the
certified performance specifications.
What does that mean for the customer?
They can be absolutely sure that their weather readings
are accurate to the stated specifications. Some
competing weather instruments claim the same specifications
as Kestrel, but only Kestrel certifies their accuracy.
