Compact hand-held instrument measures airflow. Consists of hot-wire anemometer probe in flow-straightening tube that reduces swirling. Configuration developed empirically to reduce length of instrument to practical dimension for use and storage in confined space. Two versions of new straightener only 17 and 18 in. long. Weighs less than 8 lb. and readily stored on Space Shuttle, developed to measure airflow in waster-collection system during flight. Used on Earth to measure airflow in ventilation systems, vacuum cleaners, and the like.
