A note on static and dynamic calibration of constant-temperature hot-wire probes

This note describes a comparative investigation of static and dynamic calibration procedures for standard hot-wire probes. It is demonstrated that nearly the same sensitivity dE/dV can be obtained by both procedures. The discrepancy reported by Perry & Morrison (1971) is shown to be due mainly to a poor approximation of static calibration data over a large velocity range by a constant-exponent power-law function.
