A measuring device for determining the gas-flow rate. It is composed of a 1/8-inch tube inserted horizontally along the axis of the gas flowline. The pressure at the end of the tube is compared with t [..]

In hydrologic terms, a device for measuring the velocity of flowing water using the velocity head of the stream as an index of velocity. It consists essentially of an orifice held to a point upstream [..]

More accurately but less popularly used, Pitot-Static Tube, a small tube most often mounted on the outward leading edge of an airplane wing (out of the propeller stream) that measures the impact press [..]

(Or Pitot-static tube.) A pressure anemometer consisting of two concentric tubes that are oriented parallel to the flow. The inner tube is open at the upstream end to sense the total pressure, while t [..]

an instrument which will register total pressure and static pressure in a gas stream, used to determine its velocity.

A tube mounted on the outside of the airplane that is exposed to the relative wind and provides ram air pressure to the airspeed indicator.

A speedometer that uses air flow & pressure to measure speed.

A device for measuring air velocity.

An instrument used to measure fluid (liquid or air) velocity by means of the differential pressure between the tip (dynamic) and side (static) openings.

A device for measuring the velocity of flowing water using the velocity head of the stream as an index of velocity. It consists essentially of an orifice held to a point upstream in the water, connected with a tube in which the rise of water due to velocity head may be observed and measured. It also may be constructed with an upstream and downstrea [..]

A sensing device used to measure total pressures in a fluid stream. It was invented by a French physicist, Henri Pitot, in the 1700's.

A Pitot Tube is a device used to measure the velocity pressure of an airstream by simultaneously measuring its static and total pressures. Velocity pressure is the total pressure minus the static pres [..]

More accurately but less popularly used, Pitot-Static Tube, a small tube most often mounted on the outward leading edge of an airplane wing (out of the propeller stream) that measures the impact pressure of the air it meets in flight, working in conjuction with a closed, perforated, coaxial tube that measures the static pressure.

On long flights, something into which the pilot can pitot.

A Pitot (pronounced p?-tó) tube is a measuring instrument used to measure fluid flow velocity, and more specifically, used to determine the airspeed of an aircraft.

On long flights, something into which the pilot can pitot.

Device consisting of two tubes used to measure velocity pressure. One tube measures total air stream pressure, the other measures static pressure. When both tubes are connected across a differential pressure-measuring device, static pressure is compensated and velocity pressure only is measured.

In hydrologic terms, a device for measuring the velocity of flowing water using the velocity head of the stream as an index of velocity. It consists essentially of an orifice held to a point upstream in the water, connected with a tube in which the rise of water due to velocity head may be observed and measured.

A device used to measure the total pressure of a fluid stream that is essentially a tube attached to a manometer at one end and pointed upstream at the other.

(aviation) A pressure measuring instrument used to measure fluid flow velocity, especially used to determine the airspeed of an aircraft.
