Pitot tubes are crucial tools. They measure fluid flow velocity by converting the fluid’s kinetic energy into potential energy. Invented by Henri Pitot in the 18th century, these devices are now integral to industries’ HVAC systems. They are essential for aviation and industrial airflow applications. They guarantee air pressure and flow measurement for optimal system performance.
Precision is a critical factor in the performance and efficiency of HVAC systems. Accurate measurement of airflow, airspeed, and pressure ensures that heating, ventilation, and cooling systems operate at their optimal level, reducing energy consumption and extending the lifespan of equipment. Pitot tubes play a vital role in maintaining this precision. By providing reliable and accurate airspeed and flow measurements, they help engineers and technicians balance ductwork, monitor system performance, and identify inefficiencies.
