The Pitot Tube
Advantages: Can be inserted through a small opening. Can be used to sample the velocity at several points. Low pressure drop, minimal obstruction. Disadvantages: Single point measurement. Pitot traverse requires a technician, and is timeconsuming. Pitot tube is fragile (not suited for industrial app.) DP signal is low.
