Windbreak according to Tretyakov

Windshield according to Tretjakov for precipitation sensors

A Tretyakov windshield surrounds a precipitation sensor to attenuate oncoming wind. The funnel-shaped design ensures that the flow field is deflected toward the ground, reducing wind speed in the immediate vicinity of the sensor. 

The wind protection ring is equipped with vertical stainless steel slats arranged in a circle, the undersides of which converge slightly conically. The slats are connected to each other by a chain and can be moved horizontally to ensure good aerodynamic properties.

The Tretjakov windbreak consists of a frame, metal slats, and accessories for quick and easy installation.

  • Different measuring heights for all common precipitation sensors
  • Durable and robust thanks to corrosion-resistant V4A stainless steel
  • Quick and easy installation
