Introduction
1.1 Description
The new Mini Wind Tunnel Model WTM-1000 is designed to give a highly
uniform flow rate over a 10 cm (4") diameter test chamber. The Wind Tunnel has
an electronic control unit where it controls the DC Fan speed and provides four
selectable fixed air speeds. The fixed air speeds are:
2.5 m/s (492 FPM)
5 m/s (984 FPM)
10 m/s (1969 FPM)
15 m/s (2953 FPM)
In addition, there is a REMOTE selection on the electronic control unit selector
switch. This will allow connecting an external potentiometer to control the DC
fan speed and be able to vary the speed from 0 to 15 m/s. A cable to connect an
external potentiometer to the control unit is included in the shipping box.
The purchase of the WTM-1000 also includes a NIST traceable calibration
certificate.
