Altimeters

2 Items

Altimeters support many outdoor activities

Altimeters are available in different versions. They can be integrated into a watch or carried as an external device. The values are displayed clearly and accurately.

Altimeters are easy to use

Inletts are available in a wide variety of materials, each with its own special properties and advantages.

Altimeters should be carried when in use

At ASMC, customers can choose from various altimeters. Especially at high altitudes, it is important to know exactly where you are. The oxygen supply decreases rapidly with increasing altitude and may then need to be supplied artificially. Exact altitudes are also very important during operations, as they often have to be documented. The accuracy of most (calibrated) devices is 2–20 meters.

Experten-Tipp:

Die Faustregel für Höhen-Messung ohne technische Hilfsmittel

You need a so-called isosceles right-angled forester’s folding-rule triangle. With this you can determine the height of a tree. One side must run parallel to the tree, the other parallel to the ground – you are essentially looking at the tip of the triangle. When you can see the top of the tree above the long side, you add the distance from the measurer to the tree to the measurer’s eye level; the result is the height of the tree.

There is also another method where you bend down and look backwards through your legs. The height, for example of a tower, is then measured or calculated using Pythagoras’ theorem (a2+b2=c2). In this method, your stride length or distance to the tower as well as your step height are taken into account.

Questions: Altimeters

Is there a difference between an altimeter and an altimeter?

No, both are synonyms.

With which techniques does such a device measure altitude?

Altitude can be measured barometrically, with laser beams, microwaves (or Radar), sound, or GPS. Depending on the model, different techniques are used.

Was bedeutet "Normalnull"?

This parameter, abbreviated as “NN”, was the officially defined reference height and thus the zero level in Germany until 1992. Incidentally, it is not to be used as a synonym for “above sea level” and is only valid in Germany.
