3. INTRODUCTION
• A PITOT TUBE, ALSO KNOWN AS PITOT PROBE, IS A FLOW MEASUREMENT
DEVICE USED TO MEASURE FLUID FLOW VELOCITY. THE PITOT TUBE WAS
INVENTED BY THE FRENCH ENGINEER HENRI PITOT IN THE EARLY 18TH
CENTURY AND WAS MODIFIED TO ITS MODERN FORM IN THE MID-19TH
CENTURY BY FRENCH SCIENTIST HENRY DARCY.

4. DIGRAM OF PITOT TUBE

5. TYPES OF PITOT TUBE
• Simple pitot tube
• Satic Source
• Pitot – Static Tube

6. APPLICATION OF PITOT TUBE
• IT IS USED TO MEASURE SPEED OF AN AIRCRAFT
• IT IS USED TO MEASURE SPEED OF A BOAT
• IT IS USED TO MEASURE FLUID FLOWS IN DIFFERENT INDUSTRIES
• IT IS USED WHERE VERY HIGH ACCURACY IS NOT REQUIRED
• IT IS USED TO MEASURE FLOW PROFILE IN A DUCT OR CHANNEL
• IN GENERAL PITOT TUBE IS USED TO MEASURE VELOCITY OF FLOW

7. ADVANTAGES OF PITOT TUBE
• IT IS EASY AND ECONOMICAL TO INSTALL AND REMOVE
• IT HAS NO MOVING PARTS WHICH HELPS IN MINIMIZING FRICTIONAL
LOSSES
• IT IS SMALL IN SIZE
• IT IS LOW IN COST
• IT CAUSES VERY LESS PRESSURE LOSS

8. DISADVANTAGES OF PITOT TUBE
• ANY FOREIGN MATERIAL IN FLOW, CAN CHANGE THE ACCURATE READING.
• ITS ACCURACY IS NOT THAT GOOD
• IT HAS LOW RANGEABILITY
• IT HAS LOW SENSITIVITY
• IT WORKS BETTER IN HIGH VELOCITY FLOW
• A CHANGE IN VELOCITY PROFILE CAN CAUSE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN
READINGS
• IT CANNOT BE USED WITH DIRTY FLUIDS

9. CONCLUSION
IN THIS PPT WE CONCLUD THAT THE WHAT IS PITOT TUBE , ITS TYPE, APPLICATION, ADVANTAGES, AND
DISADVANTAGES
