Wind Vane
Product Code : LSK-PMP-11164
Wind Vane (SKU LSK-PMP-11164) shows the direction from which the wind is blowing. It turns with minimum friction and is balanced so that it has no bias towards any particular direction, which suits school weather stations, geography lessons and meteorological observation points. Science Lab Supplies manufactures the vane at its factory at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and handles orders itself for schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The wind vane's design points are listed in the table that follows. In essence, it is a balanced vane that rotates with minimum friction, meets the key requirements for dependable indication of wind direction, and is intended for mounting on buildings such as those used by meteorological departments.

Applications and Experiments for the Wind Vane
Mounted in open air, the vane swings to face the wind and shows its direction at a glance. Students record the direction at fixed times each day and relate it to weather changes, making the vane a simple, practical part of school physics lab equipment in India and of any weather corner.
- School geography and science lessons on weather: observing wind direction alongside wind-speed readings from a Simple Cup Anemometer.
- School and college weather stations: logging daily wind direction together with air pressure on an Aneroid Barometer reading 960–1060 hPa.
- Environmental science and meteorology training: combining direction records with humidity and temperature from a Psychrometer (with Thermometer).
- Rooftop installation on buildings used for weather observation.
Install the vane where nearby walls or trees do not deflect the airflow, and let a responsible adult carry out any rooftop mounting.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Wind Vane is supplied as a single balanced, low-friction unit ready for mounting, as described above. Any mounting hardware or optional accessories you need for your building are listed on the quotation, so please mention where the vane will be installed when you enquire.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
One vane for a school roof or a batch for several weather stations can be quoted; the quotation shows packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Anemometers, barometers and other weather instruments can be added, so a complete station is priced together.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a wind vane show?
It shows wind direction. Because this vane rotates with minimum friction and is balanced, it swings freely to face the wind without favouring any particular direction, so the reading reflects the actual airflow.
Where should the wind vane be mounted?
It is most suitable for mounting on buildings, such as those of meteorological departments, or on a school roof where the airflow is not blocked by nearby walls, trees or taller structures.
How can wind speed be measured as well?
The vane gives direction only; speed needs an anemometer. A cup anemometer with analogue or digital display, or a compact digital anemometer, can be added to the same quotation to complete a basic weather station.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
Science Lab Supplies produces the wind vane in its own Saha, Ambala workshop. Enquiries are answered by the manufacturer directly, so details about mounting and quantities come from the makers, with no trading company in between.
