Abstract
Apparatus and methods for measurement of airflow in a duct are described. The apparatus combines a Pitot tube, sensing apparatus, control apparatus, a display, control switches and carry apparatus arranged into a unitary structure.
Claims26
Apparatus to measure air velocity in an air handling system, said apparatus comprising:
- a Pitot tube for insertion into a duct, said Pitot tube comprising a total pressure tube having a total pressure tube outlet, and a static tube having a static tube outlet;
- and
- a module having a first inlet coupled to said total pressure tube outlet and a second inlet coupled to said static tube outlet, said module operable to concurrently measure air velocity pressure and air static pressure in said duct;
- carrying apparatus to carry said Pitot tube and said module;
- said Pitot tube, said module and said carrying apparatus arranged to provide a unitary measuring unit;
- said carrying apparatus is operable to position said Pitot Tube in a duct of said air handling system to measure velocity pressure and static pressure;
- said module is operative to automatically, concurrently measure air velocity pressure and air static pressure.
