Prandtl's Pitot tube Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Product Code : SCL-PLE-10481

The Prandtl's Pitot tube is a fluid mechanics apparatus used for measuring and demonstrating fluid or airflow velocity by comparing total pressure and static pressure. It is suitable for school physics labs, college laboratories, engineering institutes, and STEM classrooms where students study pressure, velocity, and flow measurement.

Product Description

The Lab Glassware Manufacturer Prandtl's Pitot tube helps students understand how pressure difference can be used to estimate fluid velocity. The tube is typically connected to a compatible manometer or pressure-measuring device so learners can compare stagnation pressure and static pressure during airflow or fluid-flow experiments.

This apparatus is useful for practical lessons on Bernoulli’s principle, dynamic pressure, static pressure, velocity head, and flow-rate measurement. It is intended for supervised educational use with compatible wind tunnels, airflow ducts, water channels, manometers, and laboratory stands as specified by the experiment setup.

Key Features

• Used to demonstrate total pressure, static pressure, and dynamic pressure in fluid flow.
• Suitable for airflow velocity and fluid mechanics experiments in physics laboratories.
• Can be connected to compatible manometers or pressure sensors for readings.
• Helps students connect Bernoulli’s principle with practical flow measurement.
• Useful for school, college, engineering, and STEM laboratory demonstrations.
• Supports experiments in ducts, airflow setups, wind tunnels, or compatible flow channels.
• Suitable for institutional procurement, laboratory setup, and export supply requirements.

How to Use the Prandtl's Pitot Tube

1. Mount the Prandtl's Pitot tube securely in the airflow duct, wind tunnel, or compatible flow channel.
2. Align the tube opening with the direction of flow as required by the experiment.
3. Connect the total-pressure and static-pressure outlets to a compatible manometer or pressure sensor.
4. Start the airflow or fluid-flow source gradually and allow the flow to stabilize.
5. Record the pressure difference shown by the measuring device.
6. Use the pressure difference and the experiment formula to estimate flow velocity.
7. Switch off the flow source before adjusting, removing, or cleaning the tube.

Safety note: Use the tube only within the confirmed pressure and flow limits. Secure all tubing before airflow starts, and do not insert fingers or loose objects into active airflow equipment.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean the pressure openings gently after use to prevent blockage.
• Store the tube in protective packaging to avoid bending or tip damage.
• Check tubing connections and pressure ports before each experiment.
• Keep the apparatus dry after use, especially if used in humid or liquid-flow environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Prandtl's Pitot tube used for?

Prandtl's Pitot tube is used to measure or demonstrate fluid velocity by comparing total pressure and static pressure in a moving flow.

Is Prandtl's Pitot tube the same as a Pitot-static tube?

Yes. A Prandtl tube is commonly described as a Pitot-static tube because it measures both stagnation pressure and static pressure for flow-velocity calculation.

Can this apparatus be used in school physics labs?

Yes. It is suitable for supervised school and college physics laboratories when used with compatible airflow equipment and pressure-measuring devices.

What accessories are required with this Pitot tube?

Typical experiments require a compatible manometer or pressure sensor, connection tubing, a stand or holder, and a controlled airflow or fluid-flow source.
