Sometimes called wind speed or air speed meters, anemometers are generally classified as hot wire, vane, or pitot tube.

The Hot Wire Anemometer is best for accurately measuring air flow at very low velocities (eg., under 100 ft/min).  Some models are designed to measure velocities as high as 15,000 ft/min but still have very accurate measuring capability down to 10 ft/min.  

The Vane Anemometer relies in a rotating impeller to sense air velocity.  Vane anemometers are the best choice for measuring wind speed.  Many have user selectable units of measure: ft/min, m/s, MPH, km/h, knots, and Beaufort force to accommodate a wide variety of applications.

A Thermoanemometer is any hot wire or vane anemometer having the added feature of air temperature measurement.  

A Data Logging Anemometer is designed to store measurements for later review.  Some will download logged air velocity readings to your computer for review, graphing, and further analysis.  

A Pitot Tube used with a digital manometer is often used to accurately measure air velocity in HVAC applications.  Pitot tubes compare static pressure and velocity pressure, which is converted into an air velocity readings and volumetric air flow measurements.
