C-MM Series Mounting Adapters
When installing anemometers or wind vanes for monitoring high wind speeds, it is extremely important to have a strong, stable mounting platform for the wind sensors. Our C-MMA-16-06 (female 1″ NPT thread) and C-MMB-16-06 (male 1″ NPT thread) stainless steel threaded wind sensor mounts are available for all of the C5C series compact anemometers and D5C compact wind direction vanes. The C-MM sensor mounts provide a solid connection between the wind sensor and the pipe mast, crossarm, or horizontal boom. Since these adapters have standard pipe threads, it allows the use of standard 1.0″ NPT pipe and pipe fittings for assembling your cross arms or horizontal booms. Our adapters are machined from solid 316 series stainless steel bar stock for superior corrosion resistance and high strength. All CMM sensor mounting posts are machined to a standard 0.5″ O.D. tube size and are 6.0″ tall for mounting all compact series anemometers or wind direction vanes.
Wind Sensor Mount Features
The C-MMA-16-06 wind sensor mounting adapter has a Female 1″ NPT thread for ease of installation on standard pipe. The C-MMB-16-06 version of the adapter is also available which has a machined Male 1″ NPT thread. This adapter can be installed directly onto our heavy duty stainless steel BHC-36-01-SS crossarms. It also has a hex shaped base so a wrench can be used to tighten it on to your tower or mast. All C-MM sensor mounting posts are machined to a standard 0.5″ O.D. tube size and is 6.0″ tall for mounting all compact series anemometers or wind direction vanes.
Specifications
- Machined from solid 316 series stainless steel
- Available with 1.0″ NPT female or male threads
- Standard 0.5″ O.D. post for sensor monitoring
- Hex base for installing with a 1.5″ wrench
- High polished mirror finish
BHC Series Adjustable Wind Sensor Crossarms
The BHC-36-C-SS buck horn wind sensor crossarm is a heavy-duty wind sensor arm for C5C anemometers and D5c wind vanes. When mounted, the two wind sensors are positioned 36″ apart to prevent them from being in each other’s wind path, causing errors in wind readings. The crossarm has two welded bar stock .50″ O.D. sensor post and can be mounted to your own mast, horizontal boom, or directly to an AWOS tower with the center positioned female 1″ NPT fitting. Our crossarm is fabricated from incredibly strong 3/4″ schedule 80 316 series stainless steel pipe and bar stock for many years of service in the harshest industrial environments.
Adjustable Mounting Flexibility
The BHC-36-C-SS crossarm is designed to be adjustable so C5C series anemometers and D5C wind wind direction vanes can be mounted in a variety on industrial type applications. The horizontal bar can easily shift left or right about the center mount to avoid physical obstructions. The post can also be rotated 360 degrees. This allows the crossarm to be mounted on surfaces of heavy equipment or structure which is not level. When the center mount is pointed up the crossarm can allow wind sensors to be mounted under ledges of buildings or bridges.
The BHC-36-01-SS crossarm is designed for mounting the larger C5 anemometers and D5 wind vanes with lever lock couplings. It is constructed from very strong 1.75″ O.D. thick wall stainless steel tubing for many years of severe service. Compact C series wind sensors will not fit on these crossarms with out installing C-MMB mounting adapters.
Specifications
- Heavy duty thick wall 316 stainless steel pipe or tube construction
- .05″ O.D. posts or 1.0″ female NPT sensor mounts
- Wide 36″ separation of wind sensor mounts for accurate readings
- Female 1.0″ NPT center mounting coupling
