Pitot Tube Demonstrator
Product Code : JA-FMAHLE-9962
The Pitot Tube Demonstrator (SKU JA-FMAHLE-9962) measures how the velocity of water varies across a pipe. A Pitot tube is moved across the pipe section, its tip position read on a scale, and the differential head is shown on a pressurised water manometer. JaincoLab supplies this Pitot tube demonstrator to engineering colleges and polytechnics for fluid mechanics practicals on velocity measurement.
Specifications
The unit comprises a Pitot tube with a scale giving the tip position relative to the pipe wall, a pressurised water manometer with a 500 mm scale and a set of connecting tubes, in an overall size of about 1.0 x 0.55 x 0.23 m; pipe size and water supply are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications of the Pitot tube demonstrator
The Pitot tube demonstrator lets students measure the dynamic head at points across a pipe and convert it to velocity, so they can plot the velocity profile and find the mean velocity, a standard practical on flow measurement in fluid mechanics courses.
- Measuring the dynamic head profile across a pipe
- Calculating point velocities from the Pitot tube readings
- Plotting the velocity distribution and estimating mean velocity
- Fluid mechanics practicals in civil and mechanical engineering courses
