1 Defence Institute of Physiology and Allied Sciences, Madras, India

A hot-wire anemometer has been specially designed and fabricated for the measurement of the wind speed component of the microenvironment inside clothing. A copper-constantan thermocouple has been used for estimation of temperature. The constant-current method is used for measurement of air movement. The sensing element is mounted in a Perspex frame which can be strapped to the human body inside clothing. Speeds in the range 2–280 cm/sec have been measured with the instrument.
