The Purpose of Windsocks
What are Windsocks?
Windsocks, also known as wind cones, are cloth tubes that are in the shape of a cone and are
most commonly used as devices to help determine the direction of the wind. Windsocks are
also helpful in gauging the speed of the wind. They are in the shape of a large sock, which
explains the name. A windsock is made of light and flexible fabric, most popularly nylon, and
can be seen in different colors.
How Does a Windsock Determine the Direction of the Wind?
Unlike a compass, but similar to it as well in some ways, a windsock flows freely with the
wind. However, the direction the windsock flows in is not always the direction of the wind.
The direction of the wind faces the opposite direction to the windsock. This means that if a
windsock flows towards West, the direction of the wind is from the East.

The Purpose of Windsocks
How Does a Windsock Determind the Speed of the Wind?
A windsock is normally placed on high locations, such as on a pole that is more or less 6 feet
long, in order to give the wind tracking device enough freedom to move with the wind and be
clearly visible. Wind speed is tracked based on the angle the windsock is hanging in. A fully
inflated windsock means the wind is at 17mph.
Where is it Located?
A windsock is most commonly found at airports, airfields, near chemical plants and places
where there might be a risk of leakage of gases. They are also found on highways and similar
windy locations.

When purchasing a windsock, the most important thing to pay attention to is the
manufacturer and the amount of time that has passed since the manufacturer produced its
first windsock. It is always beneficial to find out beforehand how long a manufacturer has
been producing windsocks since this is what marks the company and the quality of the
product it provides to customers.
One of the best manufacturers of windsocks is Aerosock. The company has built an impressive
image for itself by providing good quality windsocks to all its customers. The fabric this
company uses in the production of all its windsocks is nylon and it has not failed to hold on to
the fabric for over 20 years, which is one of the reasons behind their success.

In addition to other reasons why nylon is the ideal choice among all other fabrics to be used in
the production of windsocks, the main advantage it offers is that it helps produce windsocks
that are lightweight and respond to the slightest wind pressure. The fabric also prevents the
windsock from cracking or peeling and protects it from the rain.
For the production of its windsocks, Aerosock uses high quality materials which include, but
are not limited to, long­lasting
6.2 oz. colorfast nylon which, in comparison to polycoated vinyl,
does not fade as fast. They also use nylon thread that is resistant to the weather along with
high quality brass grommets which fastens the windsock to the pole.
The quality of the products made by the remarkable company is reason enough to make it your
number one option when purchasing windsocks.
