BOOTHWYN, PA… For thousands of people
who deal with environmental conditions in the field or workplace,
having accurate and reliable weather information is a necessity. NK,
manufacturers of Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters, offers six handheld

“Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters were developed as high precision
tools,” says Michael Naughton, Product Manager at NK. “Each
instrument is calibrated to strict specifications, and is designed
and built here at our US plant to provide years of reliable use.”
Kestrel Meters take every environmental reading
including wind speed, temperature, relative humidity, barometric
pressure, altitude, wet bulb temperature, density altitude, wind
chill, heat stress index and dewpoint. They are fully waterproof
and float and have a large, liquid-crystal backlit display. Most
models come with a hard, rubberized, slip-on cover to protect
the unit. Some
models also have data upload capabilities. The impeller is
user-replaceable to ensure accuracy even after thousands of readings.
Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters are on the job in the following
professions, for example:
- Military- The durable and rugged Kestrel provides the US Military
with portable, accurate and reliable weather information in the
harshest of environments, including the deserts of Iraq.
- Wildland Firefighting- The information provided
by the Kestrel is instrumental in predicting the behavior of
forest fires, and planning the strategy for fighting them. The speed, accuracy
and range of the Kestrel’s RH functions are critical for
this demanding and dangerous environment.
- Agriculture, Landscaping and Grounds Management-
Safe chemical applications require accurate on-location information
about the prevailing winds, as well as temperature and humidity
readings. The
Kestrel’s large impeller mounted on sapphire jewel bearings
provides accurate readings of the slightest breezes.
- Construction- The pocket-sized Kestrel Meter is fully portable,
allowing construction workers to assess on-site conditions to
ensure a safe working environment for cranes, booms and other
wind-sensitive equipment.
- HVAC- The Kestrel Meter’s data storage
makes it easy for HVAC professionals to obtain quick and accurate
airflow measurements, and aids in facilities monitoring.
- Police Work, Search and Rescue- Density
altitude and wind speed factor into ballistics calculations. Humidity
and wind provide guidance for working rescue dogs.
- Meteorology- The Kestrel 4000 is a fully portable complete
weather station at a fraction of the price of other weather monitoring
devices. Programmable data logging and PC upload offer
unlimited functionality.
Kestrel Pocket Weather Meters are available
at nationwide retail locations, as well as on the web, or direct
from NK. NK’s
Kestrel Weather division has been researching, developing and manufacturing
technically advanced portable weather instruments for over eight
years and owns multiple patents on their unique features. All
Kestrels are manufactured in Boothwyn, PA.
