Pitot Tube Apparatus
Product Code : EL-FMLE-10676
QUICK ANSWER: The Pitot Tube Apparatus is used to study the function and operation of a Pitot static tube, to measure the velocity/dynamic head flow profile across a pipe’s cross-section, to demonstrate that fluid velocity is proportional to the square root of the head difference between total head and static head, and to determine the discharge coefficient (Cd) and measurement error of the Pitot tube as an instrument. It consists of a Pitot static tube (2.5 mm head diameter) that can be traversed across a transparent pipe (32 mm internal diameter, approximately 430 mm length) fed from the Hydraulics Bench or the Basic Hydraulic Feed System, with its measuring-tip position read on a scale relative to the pipe wall; the tube is connected via hoses to a pressurized water manometer (500 mm length) to measure the differential head between the total and static pressure at each traverse position.
The Pitot tube unit enables the change in flow speed within a tube to be determined. The Pitot static tube can be moved across the whole cross-section of the tube in order to measure the dynamic head profile, and thus the pressure profile; the position of the measuring tip relative to the wall of the pipe can be read on a scale. This tube is connected via hoses to a pressurized water manometer, used to measure the differential head across the Pitot static tube. The water supply can come from the Hydraulics Bench or from the Basic Hydraulic Feed System.
