Product Overview
The REED R8906 Rotating Vane Thermo-Anemometer is a professional airflow measurement instrument that combines a rotating vane sensor for air velocity, built-in temperature read-out, and automatic calculation of air volume (CFM/CMM). Ideal for HVAC, clean room, laboratory, and industrial ventilation applications requiring accurate airflow and temperature measurement in one handheld device.
It features simultaneous display of air velocity and temperature, extensive measurement ranges, and easy-to-operate functions—making it suitable for field technicians, system balancing, maintenance personnel and commissioning engineers.
Key Features
- Rotating vane sensor for accurate air velocity measurement
- Dual-LCD display shows air velocity and air temperature at the same time
- Calculates air volume (CFM/CMM) when duct area is entered
- Wide velocity range from low to high flows
- Min/Max/Average measurement modes, Data Hold, Auto Power Off
- Compact and handheld design for field use
- Suitable for HVAC, duct airflow, ventilation checks and filter performance tests
