Pitot Tube Setup

About Pitot Tube Setup

A Pitot Tube is used to measure the local velocity at a given point in the flow stream. A Pitot

 tube of standard design made of copper/SS is supplied and is fixed below vernier scale. The

vernier scale is capable to measure the position of Pitot Tube in transparent section.  The

 pipe has a flow control valve to regulate the flow. An differential water manometer is

 provided to determine the velocity head. Present set-up is self-contained water re-circulating

unit, provided with a sump tank and a centrifugal pump etc. Flow control valve and by-pass

 valve are fitted in water line to conduct the experiment on different flow rates. Flow rate of

water is measured with the help of measuring tank and stop watch.
