Wind field measurements generally include two vectors: wind speed and direction. Although the true ideal wind field measurement includes a three-dimensional vector, it is very difficult to determine the three-dimensional vector. Therefore, we usually encounter two measurements—wind speed and direction. Wind speed and direction sensors are commonly used in meteorological measurements. Currently, the well-known foreign manufacturers include Denmark's Dantec Corporation and American TSI Corporation. The wind speed measurement range is approximately 1-60m/s with an error of ±0.5m/s; the wind direction measurement is 0-360° with an error of ±3°.
The early application of wind speed and wind direction sensors was based on LDV and HWA. These two technologies complement each other and have their own characteristics. Nowadays, there are still quite a lot of applications. After entering the 1980s, the silicon-based micromachining technology has gradually matured and gained everyone's attention. By the end of the eighties, sensors that have successfully measured wind speed and direction have been developed.
The working principle of the silicon flow wind speed and wind direction sensor is as follows: Four temperature sensitive resistors are arranged on four sides of a square diaphragm, and a heating resistor is placed in the middle of the diaphragm. When the wind blows to the chip in a certain direction, the wind speed will be decomposed into two components Vx, Vy, and then these two components are felt by the four resistors on the chip, causing the output of the bridge to change. Then go through a certain amplification circuit processing to get the ratio of Vx, Vy, the corresponding wind direction can be judged. Please see the specific wind speed sensor layout below.

Figure 1 shows the heating surface of the wind speed and direction sensor. The four symmetrically distributed heating array units are heater chips, typically platinum film thermistors, which are used to symmetrically heat the chip above its ambient temperature. FIG. 2 is an array chip of a temperature-sensing array unit. Four edges are symmetrically distributed, and a middle chip is used to measure the temperature of the chip.
The sensitivity of wind speed and direction sensors almost determines the performance of the entire instrument. Today, many technologies are used to increase the sensitivity of sensors. One of them is the anti-corrosion technology. It separates the heating resistors from the edges, which greatly increases the heating efficiency, and at the same time makes the convection speed more sensitive and the corresponding speed increases.
PTFE Expanded Tape is a type of sealing tape that is widely used in various industries. It is made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, which is known for its non-stick properties, high chemical resistance, and excellent thermal stability. The tape is expanded by a special process that makes it more flexible and compressible, allowing it to conform to irregular surfaces and fill gaps and voids.
PTFE Expanded Tape is commonly used in applications where a tight and reliable seal is required, such as in plumbing, HVAC, and automotive industries. It is also used in the construction industry to seal joints and gaps in buildings, as well as in the aerospace industry for sealing fuel lines and hydraulic systems. The tape is typically used in conjunction with other sealing materials, such as gaskets or O-rings, to provide a more complete sealing solution.
One of the main advantages of PTFE Expanded Tape is its chemical resistance. It is highly resistant to most chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents, making it suitable for use in harsh environments. It is also resistant to UV radiation, which makes it ideal for outdoor applications. The tape is non-toxic and does not release any harmful substances when exposed to high temperatures or chemicals.
