Pitot Tube is a device that is used to measure velocity at a particular point.
Basic Principle: When we insert a pitot tube at any point
- The velocity of flow at that point reduces to zero, which is called the stagnation point (No motion).
- Kinetic Energy at that point is converted into Pressure Energy, and by measuring the pressure energy at this point, the velocity of flow can be calculated.
| Device | Measure |
| Venturimeter | Discharge |
| Orifice | Discharge |
| Elbow meter or Bend meter | Discharge |
| Pitot tube | Velocity of flow |
| Anemometer | The velocity of air and gas |
| Nozzle meter | Discharge/Flow rate |
| Rotameter | Discharge |
| Wier and Notches | Discharge |
| Piezometer | Pressure |
| Manometer | Pressure |
| Differential U-tube manometer | Pressure difference |
| Current meter | Velocity in open channel |
