Type S Pitots
Type S Pitots
Type-S Pitot Tubes are used to measure gas velocities. In source testing, much of the work is concerned with flowing gas streams. The source tester must generally calculate the volumetric flow rate of stack gas as well as the flow rate of the gas through the sampling apparatus.
Baseline coefficient value is 0.84. Wind tunnel calibration services are available upon request.
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.
If your Type-S Pitot specification does not end with a part number for a quote, then call an Apex Instruments Sales Represetative.
Description
Type-S Pitot Tube Design Advantages:
- Large openings resist plugging in particulate laden and saturated gas streams.
- Compact design fits easily in sampling ports.
- Maintains calibration in harsh environments.
- High differential pressure readings are beneficial in low velocity gas streams.
- Suitable for determining cyclonic flow and measuring yaw-angle of the velocity vector.
- Economically priced.
