Summary
An automatic device was constructed for sampling air isokinetically. The automatic feature consists of a motor-operated bypass valve controlled by a Wheatstone bridge. Transducers, sensitive to changes in air velocity, are the sensing elements in the bridge. Experimental results are given in which the controlled sampling velocity was shown to follow changes in wind velocity very accurately.
