2、 revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of the startingthreshold,delay distance,and overshoot ratio of a wind vanefrom direct
3、 measurements in a wind tunnel.This test method isapplicable only to wind vanes having measurable overshoot.1.2 This test method provides for determination of theperformance of a system consisting of a wind vane and itsassociated position-to-output transducer in wind tunnel flow.Use of values determ
