Acknowledged as the world's leading
manufacturer of
ultrasonic anemometers with the widest range of quality
products. Gill anemometers are used globally by some of the largest
organizations in the world for research, aviation, agricultural,
sport, transport and industrial applications to name just a few.
Specifically for marine applications, the WindObserver II
ultrasonic anemometer is available with Lloyds type approval. Gill's
commitment to innovation means the constant introduction of new
products and always staying at least one step ahead of their
competitors.
Gill's accepted dominance in the
field of ultrasonic gas flow measurement dates back to the inception
of the company. They are the largest single manufacturer of
ultrasonic anemometers in the world. That position has been achieved
by supplying the very best quality products and providing high
quality sales back up and advice.
New Wind Turbine Assessment & Turbine Control
With the increased growth in demand for wind
turbines, Gill Instruments designs and manufactures the most
complete range of ultrasonic anemometers for the wind energy
market. From initial turbine site assessment to use of
instruments for turbine control, customers can choose from a
range of 2-axis and/or 3-axis anemometers. Options include
heating & analog output. |

Extreme Weather WindObserver
This variant of the
WindObserver has been designed to remain ice-free in most
freezing weather conditions. With exceptionally high
heating power and the ability to measure wind speeds up to
75 m/s (0-168mph) the instrument is ideal for use in extreme
conditions where performance and high reliability are
paramount. With 150 Watts of electrical heating producing 1
Watt/cm², and tested in accordance with MILSTD810F, the unit
is particularly suited to operate as part of wind turbine
control systems, which are exposed to extreme weather
conditions. The high wind speed (0-75 m/s) capability
proves essential in applications involving tornados and
tropical storms, in land based and offshore applications.
The small opposing transducers provide maximum possible
directional ultrasonic signals (used to provide wind data)
whilst ensuring the minimum of wind distortion.
This first class wind
speed and direction sensor has been proven in many
applications worldwide and compliments the range of wind
speed and direction (anemometer) products from Gill.

Aviation
Standard WindObserver
The Aviation Standard WindObserver Model 1390
has been accepted for service by both the Federal Aviation
Administration (USA) and the Civil Aviation Authority (UK)
for the observation and reporting of surface wind. The
WindObserver meets the requirements of Annex 3 to the
Convention on International Civil Aviation (ICAO) when
supplied as part of a suitable AWOS (Automatic Weather
Observering System).

Why Choose The WindSonic? |
MetPak II Weather Station
The MetPak II combines the essential measurements of weather
parameters into one instrument. Measuring wind speed and
direction using the proven WindSonic two-axis
technology, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure and
dewpoint using industry
standard probes, this instrument provides a cost effective
alternative for compact weather stations. Easy to install
using a single pole mounting with SDI12 and analogue output
configurations available.
