Pitot Tube Apparatus

Pitot Tube Apparatus

The pitot tube unit the change in flow speed within a tube can be determined.
The Pitot static tube can be moved across the whole cross- section of the tube, and thus to measure the pressure profile.
This tube is connected to manometers via hoses.
The Pitot tube can be moved across the cross-section of the pipe in order to measure the dynamic head profile.
The position of the measuring tip relative to the wall of the pipe can be read on a scale.
The Pitot tube is connected to a pressurized water manometer to measure the differential head across the pitot static tube.
The position of the measuring head relative to the bottom edge of the tube can be measured on a scale.
The water supply can come from the Hydraulics Bench or from the Basic Hydraulic Feed System.
The Pitot tube can be moved across the cross-section of the pipe in order to measure the dynamic head profile.
