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:

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.
