The simplest and therefore most common type of total pressure sensor is the Pitot tube. Total pressure sensors are used to accurately measure differential pressure and to determine flow velocities of fluids. They are used for a wide range of purposes, for example to determine the airspeed in aviation, to measure wind speeds in
meteorology or to determine the flow velocity in pipes. In addition, used in conjunction with the accessory (pressure distribution on a cylinder), it is possible to record the pressure distribution downstream of a
cylinder under transverse incident flow. Part of a series that allows experiments on the principles of incompressible air flow. The software for data acquisition and visualisation makes the experiments especially clear and enables fast execution of experiments with reliable results. The well-structured instructional material sets out the fundamentals and provides a stepby-
step guide through the experiments.
