At Nielsen-Kellerman, they've been researching, designing, manufacturing and distributing the Kestrel Weather & Environmental Meters for 15 years. NK's team of experts and engineers are determined to make the most accurate and reliable handheld weather devices available. They are continuously dedicated to researching ways to improve the Kestrel line and create new products to meet customers' needs. While it may not be obvious when you look at a Kestrel side-by-side with a competitor's weather meter, there are very important differences that make Kestrel the best choice for almost every application.

Encore Monitoring now complements our complete range of gas detection equipment with portable monitors including the following parameters:

• Wind speed/Air Flow
• Temperature
• Relative Humidity
• Barometric Pressure
• Wind Chill
• Evaporation
• Altitude
• Any many more

NK specifies IP-67 sealing for every Kestrel. This means that a Kestrel is totally protected from dust and can be submerged in water to 1 m (3ft) for up to 30 minutes without any leakage. To ensure that each Kestrel meets this standard, it is subjected to a vacuum leak test after the final assembly. They’ve heard of one Kestrel product tester who sank it in a lake for a full day of fishing, then pulled it out and put it back to work (that’s dedication!), and the appearance of Kestrel meters employed in underground coal mines is a testimony to their dust-resistance. They have also drop-tested the Kestrel lineup to MIL-STD-810F.
