Type "S" Pitots

Type S Pitot Tubes are used to measure the gas velocities. When the pitot is faced into the gas stream, flow and the pressure difference between the two ports equates to the velocity pressure. This differential velocity pressure is measured with liquid manometers or electronic pressure transducers.

Apex Instruments manufactures Type-S pitot tubes in accordance with the Method 2 design specifications. A wide variety of materials, sizes and configurations are available. The most common are constructed from either 1/4" or 3/8" OD stainless steel or Alloy 600 tubing.

U.S. EPA Method 1 specifies appropriate sampling locations for conducting a velocity or particulate traverse. The sampling locations must meet certain criteria to be valid. (ie., duct diameter and the sampling location, relative to flow disturbance locations to ensure laminar, non-cyclonic, flow in the stack.)
