โฆ Synopsis
This paper describes a swinging arm calibration facility for the calibration of hot-wire probes at low velocities. During the motion of the probe the anemometer signal is recorded digitally using pre-set angle positions for the start and stop of the data acquisition. The evaluation method described in this paper is based on an integral procedure over a fixed, known probe path length. Tests in the velocity range 1 to 6 m/s demonstrated a high degree of repeatability of the calibration results. Furthermore, the test facilities can easily be adjusted for other low velocity ranges.

A rig for the calibration of hot-wire anemometer probes at velocities below 1 m/s that uses a stepping motor to drive the probe at controlled velocities down the center of an enclosed channel is described. A typical calibration curve (over the range 0.02-1 m/s) displays the usual characteristics of
