What's new with the Kestrel 5500FW over the StandardKestrel 5500:

You'll get all the features and benefits of the lightweight waterless 5500 Meter with a few added benefits for $10 more.  

• PIG Screen (Probability of Ignition) 
• FDFM  (Fine Dead Fuel Moisture)

* Note the PIG Screen will show FDFM at the bottom.

Advantage over the Kestrel 3000 & Kestrel 3500FW models: You won't need to calibrate this meter! NK/Kestrel stand by this and other 5000 series models to hold calibration within drift for 5 years.  

Replacing a Sling Psychrometer with a Kestrel is a huge step in time saving and accuracy.  Some have struggled to take this leap and we wrote this quick Kestrel vs. Sling article that may answer questions of accuracy.
