It is a Pitot-static tube that mounts in the working section of the wind tunnel, either upstream or downstream of the position ofthe test model. This allows students to do wake traverses, downstream of amodel. The Pitot-Static Traverse is an ancillary to modular Subsonic Wind Tunnels. This allows the datum or starting point of an experiment to bedefined by the user. To display differential pressure, the Pitot-static tubeconnects to a manometer. The vertical position of the tube, which is adjustable, is displayed ona digital indicator. The digital indicator position can be set to zero in anyposition. Alternatively, pressures can be measured using one ormore of the following optional instruments:
Dual Digital Pressure Display module
Tilting Multi-Tube Manometer
Differential Pressure Transducer module
32-Way Pressure Display module
The plate fits in a location below the main accessory aperture and allows the velocity profile behind all of the optional heat exchangers to be investigated. Also supplied is an upstream pitot tube that can be traversed across the duct to investigate the upstream velocity profile. The Pitot Static Traverse Plate includes a sliding plate, and pitot tube with multiple locations designed to be traversed across the duct of the base unit.
