WINData offers two models of meteorological towers that include the 50M-3 and 60M-3. The 60M-3 meteorological towers is a guyed tower model in an overall diameter of six inches. It has an initial guy tension of 0.7 kilo Newton that eventually increases to a maximum guy tension of 1.8 kilo Newton. The inner and outer guy anchor forces of the 60M-3 meteorological tower are 4.4 kilo Newton and 8.4 kilo Newton, respectively. The maximum tower tube stress in terms of tension is 17.2 Pascal, while in terms of compression the stress increases to 42.1 Pascal.
The 60M-3 meteorological tower from WINData has a maximum top deflection of 0.7 kilo Newton with an erection anchor force of 11.7 kilo Newton. The tower base exerts two types of vertical and horizontal forces during the tower erection. The horizontal tower base force is 9.9 kilo Newton and the vertical tower base force of the 60M-3 meteorological tower is 27.5 kilo Newton.
The tower provided by WINData has a radial ice thickness of 0 millimeters and the velocity on top of the tower is 38.4 meters per second. The velocity at a tower height of 10 meters is 31.1 meters per second. The 60M-3 meteorological tower is designed using galvanized materials, thereby providing protection against corrosion.
