Otech receives and installs 3rd Wind Tunnel

Otech Engineering, Inc. received shipment of a new wind tunnel at their test laboratory in Davis, California.  This is the third wind tunnel designed and built by Engineering Laboratory Design, Inc. of Lake City, Minnesota for Otech.  The new tunnel is a suction type with an enclosed test section of size 0.61 m x 0.61 m x 1.22 m (2′ x 2′ x 4′). This third tunnel incorporates design features unique to the requirements of a high precision calibration test laboratory and will expand Otech Engineering’s test capacity significantly.  Although assembled and running, Otech has a variety of verification and validation procedures to go through before it will be used for customer calibrations.  Otech expects the third wind tunnel to be fully operational by early 2010.  Update:  The third wind tunnel is up, running, verified and validated!
