Pitot Tubes from Torbar Flowmeters Ltd
Manufacturer and supplier of pitot tubes for liquids, gas and steam flow
measurement.
Pitot tubes are used for measuring the velocity of both liquid and gas flow.
This is possible by measuring the difference between impact pressure and static
pressure.
Pitot tubes have been used in flow
measurement for years. Conventional pitot tubes sense velocity pressure
at only one point in the flowing stream. Therefore a series of measurements
must be taken across the stream to obtain a meaningful average
flow measurement rate.
Pitot tubes consists of two concentric tubes, the inner tube being the impact
pressure tube whose opening faces directly into the stream to measure the
impact pressure. The outer tube consists of one or more rows of small holes
on the circumference to measure the static pressure. Materials of construction
are SS and brass.
Our main pitot tube product is the Torbar - a multiport self-averaging flow
meter with a design based on the classical pitot tube concept of fluid flow
measurement.
