Pitot Tubes

Pitot tubes are another type of differential pressure flowmeters. They are named after Henri Pitot who came with this invention in the year 1732. Pitot tubes are basically used to detect flow velocity of fluids. Pitot tubes have the potential to measure two pressures at the same time i.e. impact (dynamic) and static. In a Pitot-static tube, the kinetic energy of the flowing fluid is transformed into potential energy for measurement of fluid flow velocity.
