Appendix A Performing a Pitot Probe Duct Traverse
Overview
In this Appendix, use of a Pitot Static probe, in conjunction with the FKS series
instrument will be explained. The Pitot Static probe allows the direct measurement
of dynamic pressure allowing calculation of the air speed in ducts, pipes, wind
tunnels, etc.
Measurement of Speed
A Pitot Static probe is shown below
The Pitot Static probe measures the total pressure (or impact pressure) at the
nose of the Pitot probe and the static pressure of the air stream at side ports. The
difference of these pressures, i.e. the differential (also called dynamic or speed)
pressure (P
differential
) varies with the square of the air speed. Thus the air speed may
be expressed as:
al
differenti
air
P
K
V
2
where
is the air density and K is a correction factor (the K factor) dependent on
the design of the Pitot Static probe.
NOTE:
This equation is typically valid for
incompressible (constant density) flow.
For most Pitot probes, the K factor is 1. For S type (dirty air) probes, K is usually
0.8 to 0.92; refer to the manufacturer’s data.
