Meteorological balloons

Balloons

InterMet offers a range of meteorological balloons, tailored to the user’s requirements for payload and altitude performance.

  • Key Features
    • Natural Latex rubber
    • Reinforced inflation neck
    • Reliable burst altitude performance
  • Specifications

    The mass of the balloon determines how much inflation gas (Hydrogen or Helium) the balloon can hold.  To carry a large payload, more gas must be used to achieve the desired buoyancy; however, the balloon will burst at a lower altitude.  Alternatively, less gas could be used; however, the assent rate will be lower which results in a longer flight.  The meteorological standard for assent rate is 5m/s.
