Tretyakov-Style Wind Shield for precipitation sensors
A Tretyakov-style wind shield surrounds a precipitation sensor to block approaching winds. The funnel-shaped design ensures excess wind is directed toward the ground, reducing the speed of winds in the direct vicinity of the sensor.
The wind shield ring is equipped with vertical stainless steel lamellas arranged in a circle with the bottoms coming together in a slightly conical fashion. The lamellas are connected to each other with a chain, and can be moved horizontally to create directional protection.
The Tretjakov wind shield consists of a frame, metal segments, and accessories for quick and easy installation.
- Different measuring heights for all common precipitation sensors<
- Durable and solid due to corrosion-resistant V4A stainless steel
- Simple and quick installation
