The Cup Type Anemometer is a widely used meteorological instrument designed to measure wind speed accurately. Commonly installed at weather stations, airports, agricultural fields, wind energy sites, and research centers, it provides reliable data essential for weather monitoring and environmental studies. The instrument features three or four hemispherical cups mounted on horizontal arms connected to a vertical shaft. As wind flows, the cups rotate proportionally to wind speed, which is then recorded through a mechanical or digital display system. Its simple yet effective design ensures consistent performance even in varying weather conditions.
