TEF 9968 Windsock

TEF 9968 Windsock – Reliable Wind Direction Indicator for Harsh Environments

A windsock is a simple yet vital device for indicating wind direction and visually approximating wind speed. It is typically constructed from a conical textile tube that aligns with the wind, offering an immediate and intuitive way to assess wind conditions in real time.

The TEF 9968 Windsock by R. STAHL TRANBERG is engineered for industrial and offshore environments. It provides high durability and visibility under extreme weather conditions. It is designed to comply with aviation and marine standards and ensures accurate wind guidance where safety is critical.

Typical Applications

• Helidecks and Offshore Platforms
  Used to ensure safe helicopter landing and takeoff by providing pilots with a quick visual reference of wind conditions.
• Airfields and Airports
  Essential for guiding aircraft movement and operations on runways and taxiways.
• Chemical and Industrial Facilities
  It helps determine wind direction in case of gas leaks or hazardous emissions and is critical for emergency response planning.
• Harbors and Marine Terminals
  Assists in docking and undocking maneuvers by offering real-time wind data to crew and operators.
• Hospitals
  Used to ensure safe landings and takeoffs at medical facilities, such as hospitals, the casualty departments, etc.
