Key Features
- Measures local point velocity at the centre of a pipe for calibrating the Pitot tube
- Vernier scale allows precise positioning of the Pitot tube across the pipe cross section
- Clear acrylic test section for visual observation of the measurement setup
- U-tube manometer determines velocity head at each measurement point
- Flow control valve regulates flow rate through the transparent pipe section
- Self-contained water re-circulating unit with sump tank and FHP pump
Applications
The Pitot Static Tube Set Up is used in fluid mechanics laboratories to study point velocity measurement techniques, calibrate Pitot tubes, and plot the velocity profile across a pipe's cross section, helping students correlate point velocity readings with overall pipe flow rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Pitot Static Tube Set Up measure?
It measures local point velocity at the centre of a pipe at different flow rates and is used to calibrate the Pitot tube.
Q2. How is the Pitot tube positioned in the pipe?
The Pitot tube is fitted below a Vernier scale that measures its position within the transparent test section.
Q3. How is velocity head determined?
A U-tube manometer connected to the Pitot tube determines the velocity head at each measurement point.
Q4. What is the test section made of?
The test section is made of clear acrylic, compatible with a 1" diameter pipe.
Q5. What utilities are required to operate the apparatus?
It requires a water supply and drain, along with a single-phase, 220V AC, 0.5 kW electricity supply.
