Chell Instruments Ltd | Wind Tunnel Instrumentation | Gas Flow Control | Vacuum Products

Chell Instruments has specialised in the motor Sport and automotive industries for equipment that measures or controls pressure. This includes on-vehicle measurement systems such as CANdaq and wind tunnel systems as manufactured by Chell using a number of principal suppliers.

We have undertaken a number of specialised projects for aerodynamic measurements and wind tunnel support. This page highlights some of the products available and some of the capabilities within Chell.

Chell has provided instrumentation for a number of wind tunnels through the UK, Eurpoe and the US. Below is a list of what we offer but if you can't find what you are looking for, please contact us.
