Independent calibration specialist Hitek is now offering its customers instant access to their calibration test results via the company's web site.
Hitek prides itself on being an independent, family owned and run business and says the new facility will be a valuable addition to its range of testing services.
"We were receiving regular enquiries from people looking for anemometer calibration services and we soon realised it was a service that isn't widely available," explains Hitek's Managing Partner, Martin Kulin.
"The facilities that did exist couldn't keep pace with demand, so we commissioned the design and construction of a brand new, purpose-built test rig." Hitek's custom-designed wind tunnel can deliver airflows of up to 20 metres/second (45 mph) which is sufficient for calibration of most anemometers.
"Having searched the market to buy a suitable piece of equipment, we decided building our own would provide the best solution and this has delivered a tool that exactly meets the needs of our clients," says Mr Kulin.
