Information sign for a weather measuring point

In the mining industry , a weather measuring point (previously also known as a weather station ) is the name given to specially marked areas in the individual mines where regular weather measurements are carried out. Weather measuring points are mainly set up in the main weather streams to simplify the calculation of the ventilation. The individual weather measuring points in the mine are entered in the weather management plan.

Structure and purpose

Weather measuring points are expediently created in a straight part of the respective route . The sections of the route in which a weather measuring point will be set up will be lined with boarding in the area of ​​the roof and the joints . Instead of the casing, some other smooth distortion can also be used. The smooth formwork is necessary to get a precisely measurable route cross-section. The weather measuring point should have a length of three to four meters. To avoid confusion, the cross-section of the route is noted on one of the joints on a sign. Even more important than the clean lining of the joints and the roof is the place where the weather measuring point is set up. It should be selected in such a way that it is at least a few meters away from a branch, as otherwise vortices will form in the weather stream, which will falsify the measurement result. To document the measurement results, there are appropriate weather boards at the weather measuring point .
