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 manufactures the module in Saha, Ambala, India, at Plot 448 of the HSIIDC Industrial Area, and colleges, training institutes, contractors and distributors can buy it from there without a middleman.
Specifications
For the Pitot tube module, the table gives one specification per row. In short, a precision micrometer head sets the tip at known points as it traverses the inside of the pipe, the tip senses the pressure change across the pipe at a given flow rate, and a second wall tapping measures static pressure for comparison.

Applications and Experiments for the Pitot Tube
The meter measures how velocity varies across a pipe at a given flow rate and shows the accuracy of a Pitot tube flow meter. Plotting the traverse readings gives the velocity profile, which explains the boundary layer and surface friction in pipes and flow channels taught in engineering fluid mechanics courses.
- B.E./B.Tech fluid mechanics and polytechnic diploma labs: velocity profile across a pipe by Pitot traverse, and total versus static pressure.
- Comparing traverse results with the nozzle and Venturi meters on the same base unit, or with the Pitot-static readings of the separate Fluid Friction Measurement rig.
- Introducing boundary layers and wall friction with measured data; the Vortex Apparatus also accepts a Pitot tube in place of its probe to map total head.
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). Mention the base unit you have when you write through the contact page or save the module in the enquiry cart; bid-based purchases are explained on the lab tender page.
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?
The micrometer head sets the Pitot tip at accurately known positions across the inside of the pipe. Each pressure reading can then be plotted against its position to build the velocity profile and show the boundary layer near the wall.
Is Science Lab Supplies the manufacturer or a trader?
This Pitot module, micrometer head included, leaves Science Lab Supplies' own production unit in Saha, Ambala, India, so the price, packing and dispatch details on your quotation come from the company that makes it.
Can it be ordered without the calibration unit?
Yes. A laboratory that already has the Flow Meter Calibration apparatus can order the Pitot module on its own; say so on the enquiry so the quotation lists only the module and any accessories you need.
