  1. Introduction to Pitot-Static Systems in Gliders - Physics Forums

    Aug 18, 2024 · A pitot-static tube has both the pitot port and the static port. The pressure difference between the two is a basis for airspeed measurements. In the illustration, we see a pitot-static tube …

  2. Pitot Tube Experiment: Measuring Pressure & Velocity

    Jan 6, 2011 · Pitot is attached to the small tube in the middle about 15cm away from where the small tube starts. A digital display is used to display the pressure from pitot.

  3. How can Bernoulli's equation be applied to pitot-static tubes?

    Jun 5, 2007 · Bernoulli's equation can be applied to pitot-static tubes to measure airflow and airspeed in aviation. The equation, P + 0.5pv² + pgy = constant, must be modified to account for the energy …

  4. Selecting the Right Radius for Pitot Static Tube Measurement in ...

    Nov 8, 2008 · Hello, I would like to know how to select the radius of a pitot static tube to test the air flow in side a circular tube?? Thanks in advence.

  5. How to be sure your pitot-static tube is aligned correctly with the ...

    Sep 19, 2012 · Hello everyone, I just found this site and I'm really hoping to find an answer to my problem! As the title tells my problem is this: I'm working on a project with pitot-static tube and I'm …

  6. Pitot Tubes and Static Pressure - Physics Forums

    Oct 17, 2016 · Pitot tubes measure two types of pressure: stagnation pressure and static pressure. The lower part of the Pitot tube captures stagnation pressure when air is not moving, while the upper tube …

  7. Pitot Tube will not measure stagnation pressure - Physics Forums

    Oct 31, 2014 · I have made a pitot tube that I am using to measure the velocity of air in a pipe. First, I placed the probe into the pipe such that the hole in the probe was parallel to the flow to obtain static …

  8. Dynamic pressure and pitot tube - Physics Forums

    Sep 15, 2015 · Hello, Normally a pitot tube points in the direction of airflow so that it measures static and dynamic airflow. If it points in the opposite direction my...

  9. Reverse Pitot Flow: Pressure Differential? • Physics Forums

    May 7, 2007 · "reverse pitot" if one reverses the direction of flow in a pitot measuring system (i.e the pitot tube doesn't face the flow), will there still be a difference in pressure between the pitot and static …

  10. Difference between a subsonic Pitot tube and supersonic one

    May 13, 2015 · Hi, Please could you explain the difference between a subsonic Pitot tube and supersonic one Thanks
