HM 170.32 Small Pitot-Probe Show data sheet (pdf file) Print page
Technical Description
The Pitot probe, also known as a pressure measuring tube, enables the total pressure in a fluid flow to be measured. The probe consists of a small tube with a bend, the tube is positioned in the flow such that the opening is facing the direction of flow. By rotating the tube in the flow field, the direction and magnitude of the velocity can be determined. On the small version, the pressure measuring tube is enclosed in a protective sleeve that prevents damage to the tube. Due to the smaller measuring tube, this version is better suited to boundary layer experiments.
