Air Velocity Calibration


Comprehensive Air Velocity Calibration Services for Precision Measurement

At Young Calibration, we offer industry-standard air velocity calibration and anemometer calibration services. We have the widest velocity range, the largest wind tunnel and the best measurement uncertainty of all the accredited laboratories in the UK. This capability provides us with international recognition and ensures measurements our customers can trust.

We provide comprehensive air velocity calibration services designed to deliver high levels of accuracy and reliability. Air velocity calibration and anemometer calibrations are undertaken in either our open or closed jet wind tunnels, offering market-leading accuracy for both handheld and fixed installation type instruments. The facility can accommodate all types of devices.

Calibrations are UKAS (Lab 0604) accredited to ISO17025:2017.

Air velocity calibration process

Our wind tunnels operate across an air velocity range from 0.05 m/s to 120 m/s, traceable to National Standards. Our UKAS accreditation is a restricted range up to 80 m/s. We utilise a Laser Doppler Anemometer (LDA) as our reference velocity standard, which gives a CMC uncertainty of only ± 0.15% reading (at k = 2). Our in-house procedures cover a broad range of industry requirements, ensuring that your instruments are compliant to the most stringent standards.

Our wind tunnels are ideal for 3d-LDA automated profiling for anemometer development and blockage correction studies. We serve a range of industries including aerospace, HVAC, pharmaceutical, cleanroom, automotive and motorsport. We offer these services with premium turnaround guarantees as short as 48 hours. With a thorough understanding of air velocity measurement and industry best practices, we guarantee that your instruments perform optimally, thus ensuring reliable data for your critical operations.

By choosing our air velocity calibration services, you benefit from:

  • High-precision calibration of air velocity instruments.
  • UKAS-accredited calibration reports for compliance with industry standards.
  • Calibration of instruments at a range of airflow velocities, ensuring versatile service for different sectors.
  • A commitment to fast turnaround times, minimising disruption to your operations.
