Product Code : SCL-PLE-10481
The Prandtl’s Pitot Tube from Lab Glassware Manufacturer is a fluid mechanics apparatus supplied to schools, colleges and engineering institutes across the African Great Lakes interior – Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo – and other export markets for measuring and demonstrating fluid or airflow velocity by comparing total pressure and static pressure.
Quick answer: A Prandtl’s Pitot tube, also called a Pitot-static tube, measures flow velocity by comparing the total (dynamic plus static) pressure at its tip against the static pressure at side ports, a principle rooted in Bernoulli’s equation.

Measuring Flow Velocity Alongside Other Fluid Mechanics Apparatus
A Prandtl’s Pitot tube needs a compatible manometer or pressure sensor to read the pressure difference it generates; institutions can pair it with the U-Tube Manometers (3 pcs.) for a liquid-column reading. It complements other pressure-and-flow apparatus in a fluid mechanics lab, including the Venturi Tube, which demonstrates the same Bernoulli’s-principle relationship between velocity and pressure in a different geometry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does a Prandtl’s Pitot tube measure?
A: It measures fluid or airflow velocity by comparing total pressure at its tip against static pressure at side ports, based on Bernoulli’s principle.
Q: Does this include a manometer or pressure sensor?
A: No, a compatible manometer or pressure sensor is required separately to read the pressure difference; confirm compatibility with Lab Glassware Manufacturer before ordering.
Q: Is this suitable for engineering and college physics labs?
A: Yes, it is designed for school physics labs, college laboratories, engineering institutes, and STEM classrooms studying pressure, velocity, and flow measurement.
