PITOT TUBES
type L

New

KIMO offers a wide range of high-quality and accurate Pitot tubes, as per the AFNOR NFX 10-112 norm. These Pitot tubes, when being connected to a differential column / or needle / or electronical manometer, can measure the dynamic pressure of a moving fluid in a duct, and then can deduct its air velocity in m/s and its airflow in m3/h. These Pitot tubes are used in HVAC field, vacuum cleaning and pneumatical transport. They are mainly dedicated to measure hot and particle-charged air, and also high air velocity.

AFNOR NFX10-112. Annex 4 dated 14.9.77. This norm meets the requirements of the International Norm ISO 3966. NPL curved with ellipsoidal head 1,0015 More than 1 %, for a 10 alignment to the fluid flow. Hard stainless steel 4/4, as per AFNOR / Z2.CDN.17.12. From 0 to 600 C in standard and up to 1000 C in option (except 3 mm). The extent error of an air velocity or airflow measurement with a KIMO Pitot tube remains inferior to 2%, when being carried out as per the NFX10-112 norm. It is recommended to carry out a calibration of the Pitot tube, in order to determine its exact coefficient.

OPERATING
The Pitot tube must be introduced perpendicularly into the duct, in several points pre-determined (see table location of measuring points). The head (ending with an ellipsoidal nose) must be maintained parallel and facing the flow. The total pressure (+) catched by the nose, is connected to the + of the manometer The static pressure (-) catched by the holes of the head, is connected to the - of the manometer. The connection cable of the thermocouple K probe is connected to the thermocouple K inlet of the manometer (only on the Pitot type L with TC K). Then, the instrument can display the dynamic pressure, also named velocity pressure. The dynamic pressure corresponds to the difference between the total pressure and the static pressure : Pd = Pt - Ps

Pitot tubes type L with TC K : direct reading of the velocity with or without temperature balancing on the micromanometers of Class 200 and 300.

Total pressure (Pt) Static pressure (Ps)

Dynamic pressure = Pt - Ps

Example : The micromanometer model MP200 directly displays the velocity in m/s.

Location of measuring points With the dynamic pressure in mm H2O or in Pa, we can calculate the air velocity in m/s, with the simplified BERNOULLI formula :
