Simplicity in Flow Measurement
Our Pitot tubes have a classical design with a hemispherical nose and bent shaft. Constructed of stainless steel with brass fittings the tubes can be supplied in a range of diameters (2.1 - 25 mm) and lengths to suit any application.
A K factor of 1.00 gives calibrated differential pressure readings for air and gas flows. Tubes are available with a range of fittings for installation into ducts or pipes or can be hand-held for measurement of free air velocity. The option of integral thermocouple allows automatic temperature measurement and correction.
Theory
By harnessing the fundamental principles of fluid dynamics, the Pitot Tube measures both static and dynamic pressure simultaneously through a simple yet sophisticated dual-tube design. As fluid flows into the forward-facing impact tube, it creates a measurable total pressure, while side ports detect the static pressure of the flowing stream. This differential reveals the true velocity pressure, giving you unparalleled accuracy in measuring flow rates in everything from industrial processes to aircraft instrumentation.
Whether you're optimizing HVAC systems, calibrating wind tunnels, or monitoring critical flow processes, our Pitot tubes deliver reliable, real-time data with minimal system interference and virtually no pressure loss.
