Pitot Tube
Product Code : LSK-FM-10452
Pitot Tube (SKU LSK-FM-10452) is a Pitot tube flow meter that fits the base unit of the Flow Meter Calibration apparatus and shows the accuracy and use of this type of meter. A micrometer-traversed tip maps the velocity profile across a pipe for fluid mechanics lab experiments in engineering colleges and polytechnics. Science Lab Supplies produces the meter in its own factory at Plot 448, HSIIDC Industrial Area, Saha, Ambala, India, and supplies colleges, training institutes, contractors and distributors directly.
Specifications
A precision micrometer head sets the position of the Pitot tip as it traverses the inside of the pipe, so readings can be taken at known points across the diameter. The tip senses total pressure at each point, while a second tapping in the pipe wall measures static pressure for comparison.

Applications and Experiments for the Pitot Tube
The meter is used to measure how velocity varies across a pipe at a given flow rate. Plotting the traverse readings gives the velocity profile, which explains the boundary layer and surface friction in pipes and flow channels taught in engineering courses.
- B.E./B.Tech fluid mechanics lab: velocity profile across a pipe by Pitot traverse.
- Comparing traverse results with other meters.
- Introducing boundary layers and wall friction with measured data.
- Polytechnic diploma: difference between total and static pressure in a flowing pipe.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Pitot Tube is supplied as a single flow meter module with its micrometer head and wall tapping, ready to fit between the base-unit adaptors. The Flow Meter Calibration apparatus, whose manometers give the readings, is a separate product; any optional accessories are listed on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
The module can be quoted alone, as an add-on for a calibration unit you already own, or together with a new unit for each student bench. Every quotation states packing, delivery time and price for your quantity, and other test and measurement instruments in India from our range can be added.
Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Ghana, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. The business is registered under Udyam as a manufacturing enterprise (UDYAM-HR-01-0014546) and for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU).

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pitot Tube used with?
It is a flow meter module for the Flow Meter Calibration unit. It fits quickly between the adaptors in the base unit, and the unit's manometers show the pressure differences at the meter and across the assembly.
How does the micrometer head help?
It lets students set the Pitot tip at accurately known positions across the inside of the pipe, so each reading can be plotted against radius.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
The Pitot tube is made by Science Lab Supplies in Saha, Ambala, India. The company is a manufacturer, not a reseller, and quotes from its own production facility.
Can it be ordered without the calibration unit?
Yes, if your laboratory already has the Flow Meter Calibration apparatus; say so on the enquiry.
