Averaging Pitot Tubes offer an accurate measurement and low permanent pressure loss, typically <10% of DP. The position produces a suction effect at the ports which magnifies the available range of differential pressure, enabling the Averaging Pitot Tube to be used in low velocity systems.
What does the pitot tube indicate?
Pitot tubes were invented by Henri Pitot in 1732 to measure the flowing liquid or air velocity. Basically a differential pressure (d/p) flowmeter, a pitot tube measures two pressures: the static and the total impact pressure.17 Apr 2019
