3. Anemometer calibration methods
Like all measuring instruments, anemometers need to be calibrated before use.
Calibration methods are based on two main principles:
calibration using a primary means of materializing the speed quantity;
calibration by comparison with a reference instrument connected to national standards.
The principle behind the various calibration methods is explained below.
3.1 Primary method calibration
The principle is to create a device that enables speed to be measured directly from measurements of primary physical quantities. Only four methods are recognized.
