KESTREL POCKET WEATHER METERS MEASURE AND TRACK ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS RIGHT AT THE JOBSITE

Boothwyn, PA: Industrial Hygiene professionals aim to monitor and protect the health of workers and the community. Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters enable Industrial Hygienists to do just that by providing accurate, reliable information on field conditions.

Kestrel Weather Meters have long been a standard tool in the field kit for Industrial Hygiene Professionals. Kestrel offers a full line of Pocket Weather Meters with the ability to measure and track many critical factors affecting the work environment, including; Wind /Air Speed, Air Flow, Wind Direction, Barometric Pressure, Altitude, Temperature, Relative Humidity, Web Bulb Temperature, Heat Index and Wind Chill.

Some Kestrel meters also offer data logging capability — a very useful function for hazardous materials spill response, construction activities, outdoor maintenance activities (painting and abrasive blasting), and any other situations where knowing the impact zones (downwind) are important. Steve Verret of the Environmental Measurements Corporation of Baton Rouge, LA uses the data logging capabilities of the Kestrel 4500 to ensure that projects can be properly documented. These capabilities are of particular use for air exchange rate studies where a running log of weather conditions is required. “EMC’s technicians and industrial hygienists have been using Kestrel weather instruments since the summer of 2000. They have performed flawlessly and are a standard instrument in our tool bags,” says Verret. Kestrel also offers a Portable Vane Mount which allows users to set their Kestrel up on location to log data. The ability to deploy a Kestrel on-site in minutes makes it an ideal solution for Industrial Hygiene professionals.

Mr. Verret also uses Kestrels to evaluate ventilation in hazardous materials remediation (e.g. asbestos abatement and mold remediation) where contractors must set up negative pressure containments using HEPA filtered fan units. “Our specifications require a minimum number of air changes per hour in the work area. By measuring the output of the fan units, we can determine if the contractor is in compliance with our specifications.”

Additional features that set Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters apart from other weather and environmental instruments available today are:

Full portability — the Kestrel 4000 series measures 2 x 5 inches and 3.6 ounces and the 1000 series is even smaller. The Portable Vane Mount packs into a carry case that is 7.5 x 2.75 x 2.5 inches and 5 ounces — and holds the Kestrel!
"All-in-one" convenience. No need to carry an arsenal of instruments and data loggers.
Extensive data logging — up to 2000 date and time-stamped data sets. On-screen graphing and data review. Optional PC interface allows users to upload the stored data for in-depth analysis and long-term storage. (Kestrel 4000 series).
Patented, fast-response humidity sensors that yield ±3% accuracy across the widest range of conditions and offers excellent long-term stability. Built-in calibration routine for field calibration (optional kit required).
Patented temperature sensor provide +/- 1°C accuracy, fast-response, and isolation from influence of user's hand.
Patented impeller provides +/- 3% accuracy and is easily-replaced without tools in case of damage or wear.
Individual calibration and guaranteed accuracy specifications that ensure precise and reliable readings on every single Kestrel manufactured. NIST-traceable calibration available.
Rugged, durable construction. Every model is completely waterproof and floats and includes a protective cover.
Large backlit display allows easy use in any conditions, day or night.
