AIR VELOCITY
TRANSDUCERS
MODELS 8455,
8465, AND 8475
The 8455, 8465, and 8475 Air Velocity Transducers are ideal for both
temporary and permanent installations for air velocity measurements
in research and development labs, manufacturing processes, and other
applications. The full–scale range, signal output, and time constant are user
selectable and can be easily changed to meet the needs of your application.

All models contain on-board electronics and calibration curves that
provide a linear signal output. This linear signal is sent out as either
a current (mA) or a voltage (V) signal, allowing output to a variety
of data loggers or data acquisition systems. In addition, the current
and voltage output ranges are user-selectable for your convenience.
