PITOT STATIC TUBE MODULE

MODAL NO: MTFM-150.22

QTY


PITOT STATIC TUBE MODULE 

The manometers of the calibration unit show the pressure differences at the flow meter and across the overall flow meter assembly. A precision micrometer head allows the user to accurately adjust the position of the Pitot tip that traverses across the inside of the pipe. The tip measures the change in pressure across the pipe for a given flow rate. A second tapping in the pipe wall measures the ‘static’ pressure. Plots of these pressures show the velocity profile in a pipe and explains the ‘boundary layer’ and surface friction in pipes and flow channels.

TECHNICAL DETAILS

PVC pipe:-22 mm. internal diameter

430 mm. length approx.

Hose connections.

Water manometer : 500 mm. length.

Easy and quick coupling system built-in.

Specification

· With this 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 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 MTFM-150.

EXPERIMENTATION

· Study of the function of a pitot static tube.To use a pitot static tube.

· Determination of tube flow speed profiles.

· Demonstration that the flow speed is proportional to the pressure difference between the total pressure and the static pressure.

· Error determination in flow measurements using the Pitot tube as measurement instrument.

· Factor C determination in the Pitot tube.
