Velocity Probe design (pitot probe)

Post by Lbracing »

I have bent my own probes with a .095" ID tubing, but don't know where to put the holes on a "J" shaped probe. Also what size? Can anyone help?

Thanks

Not sure you are posting in the correct thread, do a search on Pito Probe.

Oh, and welcome aboard.

There was a lengthy thread on the old forum that recently crashed. Bruce has been working on salvaging the old forum. As soon as he post the new link you'll find plenty of info.

I do not recall any topic or discussion on here since going to the new forum format.

More Rick than Bruce working on resurrecting the old forum, it's beyond my limited computer knowledge :)

If nothing else we can start anew with some discussion here . . .

I'm going to pose a question and ask just to clarify; you know there is an inner and outer tube?

Nope, but thanks for asking, the probing goes deeper......LOL. I really need a lesson. Could someone give me a brief rundown on how it works?

Thank you for your help, without forums like this it would be impossible to learn stuff like this. They are invaluable.

The 3d picture, on the right of that page, is the basic design that Bruce make.
