Most of the anemometers we supply are rated for in specification measurem=

ents of up to at least 60m/s;


Vector Instruments A100R and A100 LK both have max measurements of around= 75 m/s.
> RM Youngs 05103 model has a maximum measurement reading of 60 m/s but off=

ers a maximum gust survival of 100 m/s.
