Professional Airflow Measurement Tool

The REED INSTRUMENTS 8906 vane thermo-anemometer measures air velocity, air volume in CFM and temperature simultaneously on a dual LCD display. It covers an air velocity range of 80 to 6900 fpm, 0.4 to 35 m/s, 0.9 to 78 mph, 1.4 to 126 km/h or 0.8 to 68 knots with a basic accuracy of 2%. Temperature range spans 14 to 122 degrees Fahrenheit (-10 to 50 degrees Celsius) with 0.1 degree resolution. The 2.9 inch diameter vane and included hard case suit field technicians.

HVAC Technicians And Facility Engineers

This meter suits professionals who need to balance ventilation systems, verify duct airflow or troubleshoot cooling performance. It provides Min/Max/Avg recording and data hold for documentation. Buyers who require data logging to a PC or wireless connectivity should look elsewhere as the unit operates as a standalone instrument. Users needing hot-wire sensitivity for very low flows below 80 fpm will need a different sensor type.

CFM Calculation With Direct Area Input

The single specification that decides fit is the ability to calculate air volume in CFM directly from the measured velocity and a user-entered duct area. The large dual LCD shows both airflow and temperature at the same time, while the low-friction rotary vane maintains the stated 2% accuracy across the full range. Power comes from a single 9V battery with auto shut-off to preserve life.

Questions about this item

Does the 8906 include the 9V battery it needs to operate?

Yes, the package ships with a 9V battery and a hard carrying case so the meter works straight out of the box.

Will the 2.9-inch vane on the 8906 fit inside standard residential duct openings?

The vane diameter is 2.9 inches, which suits many common duct sizes, but always measure your specific opening before use.

How do I confirm the 8906 is reading air velocity correctly after setup?

Check that the dual LCD shows a value within the 80 to 6900 fpm range and that the low-battery icon is off.
