Historical Standard: ASTM D5741-96(2002)e1 Standard Practice for Characterizing Surface Wind Using a Wind Vane and Rotating Anemometer
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM D5741
1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers a method for characterizing surface wind speed, wind direction, peak one-minute speeds, peak three-second and peak one-minute speeds, and standard deviations of fluctuation about the means of speed and direction.
1.2 This practice may be used with other kinds of sensors if the response characteristics of the sensors, including their signal conditioners, are equivalent or faster and the measurement uncertainty of the system is equivalent or better than those specified below.
1.3 The characterization prescribed in this practice will provide information on wind acceptable for a wide variety of applications.
Note1This practice builds on a consensus reached by the attendees at a workshop sponsored by the Office of the Federal Coordinator for Meteorological Services and Supporting Research in Rockville, MD on Oct. 29-30, 1992.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
