Anemometer Calibration Report

The document is an anemometer calibration report from Otech Engineering for an NRG Systems anemometer. It provides details of the wind tunnel test facility and equipment used to test the anemometer, as well as test conditions and results showing the anemometer output closely matched the reference wind speed within measurement uncertainties. The anemometer was found to have a transfer function of V = 0.755f + 0.41 relating its output frequency to wind speed.
