Abstract
A study was done to identify and quantify the design parameters that affect the performance of type S pitot tubes in field use. Fourteen different pitot tubes were studied. In addition the effect of the sampling probe on the performance of several of these pitot tubes was determined as a function of distance, pitch, yaw and swirl. The results showed that the coefficient of the type S pitot tube under non-ideal flow conditions was very sensitive to the distance between the static and wake pressureports of the pitot tube. Increasing the spacing between the two ports decreased the sensitivity of the coefficient to yaw, pitch and swirl. Inserting the pitot tube 5 cm. further into the stack than the sampling probe also seemed to reduce the effects of non-ideal flow on the pitot coefficient.
