Plasma-discharge air quality sensor

Multi-hole velocity and vorticity probes

We produce a range of high-precision multi-hole velocity probes, fabricated either in stainless steel or acrylic, depending on the required application. All probes may be designed with an integraged static pressure sensing sleeve for direct differential pressure measurement.

  • Rakes, five- and seven-hole probes; custom probe configurations available
  • 12- and 37-hole omnidirectional probes
  • High-bandwidth Pitot and total pressure probes for turbulence measurement applications
  • Low-cost, 3D-printed integrated probes for very-large-array applications
  • Probe calibration systems and services

Thermal anemometry systems

Our low-cost, medium-bandwidth thermal anemometry systems offer highly competitive performance for a fraction of the cost of high-fidelity systems, and are ideal for lower bandwidth turbulence measurements, mean wall shear estimates or large-array applications.

  • Suitable for ultra-low speeds (down to 0.01 m/s)
  • Built-in temperature compensation
  • Market-leading stability (calibration drift <1% per year)
  • Ultra-small, embeddable package

Pressure sensing systems

Our pressure measurement systems offer a high-functionality, customizable and low-cost alternative to miniature pressure scanners and mechanical multiplexers, using the very latest in sensing technology available.

Measurement instrumentation

Our low-cost, high-functionality measurement instrumentation systems were specifically designed for inter-compatibility, using our own robust RS-485 network communications protocols to ensure reliable transmission and data transfer even in the noisiest environments.

  • Networked data acquisition and radio-telemetry systems
  • Bespoke sensing, acquisition and data management systems
  • Automated experimental calibration and measurement systems
  • Full metadata capture and archiving capability
