Marine Wind Speed Indicators measure wind velocity to aid in safe navigation and sailing efficiency. These devices provide real-time data to help mariners adjust sails and course for optimal performance. They are essential tools for weather monitoring and ensuring vessel stability at sea.

Size: Typically 100-200 mm in diameter for display units, sensors vary by model.

Grade: Marine-grade, compliant with ISO 8729 and IEC 60945 standards.

Viscosity: Not applicable to wind speed indicators; applies to lubricants in moving parts (e.g., ISO VG 32 for bearings).

Buoyancy: N/A for indicators; sensors may have buoyant mounts if floating-type.

Material: Housing—stainless steel (316L) or UV-resistant ABS plastic; sensors—anodized aluminum or reinforced polymers.

Wind Speed Range: 0-60 knots (standard), up to 100 knots (heavy-duty models).

Accuracy: ±1% of full scale or ±0.5 knots (whichever is greater).

Output: Analog (4-20 mA) or digital (NMEA 0183/2000, RS-485).

Operating Temperature: -20°C to +60°C (standard), -40°C to +70°C (extended).

Protection Rating: IP66 or IP67 for water and dust resistance.

Mounting: Mast-mounted (sensor), panel or bracket-mounted (display).

Power Supply: 12/24V DC (marine electrical systems).

Marine Wind Speed Indicators and Marine Navigation products typically comply with international maritime standards such as IEC 60945, ISO 8729, and SOLAS regulations, depending on the specific model and manufacturer. Always verify the product's certification details for compliance.
