Anemometers & Wind Speed Meters — South Africa
Digital anemometers for measuring wind speed, airflow, temperature and humidity — suited to HVAC and ventilation checks, agricultural spraying conditions, outdoor weather monitoring and general field use across South Africa.
Choose by sensor type
A handheld digital anemometer gives an instant, repeatable wind speed reading where guesswork used to do — whether you are checking a spraying window, commissioning an HVAC duct, or monitoring outdoor conditions.
Cup anemometers
Rotating cups measure open-air wind speed directly, with no probe to aim. Simple, robust and ideal for everyday outdoor readings — see the MT-905V.
Hot film anemometers
A heated sensor on a telescopic probe detects subtle airflow changes, sensitive down to 0.1 m/s. Built for HVAC ducting and cleanroom diagnostics — see the GT8916.
Flow / vane anemometers
A rotating vane on a probe reads wind speed and direction, with temperature and humidity logged at the same time — see the GT8907.
Pocket weather meters
Wind speed plus barometric pressure, altitude and light level in a single pocket unit — ideal for fieldwork and outdoor weather checks — see the GM8910.

Where anemometers are used
Wind speed measurement matters wherever airflow affects safety, compliance, productivity or plant health.
Agricultural spraying
Check wind speed before and during spraying to stay within safe application conditions and avoid drift onto adjacent crops or water bodies.
HVAC & ventilation
Commission and verify duct airflow rates, fan performance, and supply/extract balance — especially with the GT8907 and GT8916 probe models.
Industrial & cleanrooms
The GT8916's hot film sensor detects airflow down to 0.1 m/s — essential for verifying cleanroom air changes and laminar flow equipment.
Weather & field monitoring
The GM8910 adds barometric pressure and altitude to wind and temperature — a compact multi-tool for fieldwork, surveys, and site assessments.
Drone & UAV operations
Check live wind speed before launch and monitor conditions during flight — a pocket anemometer is a standard piece of kit for responsible drone pilots.
Marine & outdoor safety
Sailors, paragliders, and outdoor event managers use anemometers to judge safe operating conditions before heading out or setting up.
