■ Barbed fittings positively lock plastic tubing.
Sensing Port
Configuration ■ 24 total sensing ports provide a differential pressure (∆P) output proportional to
the average duct velocity.
■ Amplification baffles strengthen ∆P signals to levels three times higher than
standard Pitot tube readings.
■ Center manifolds average velocity profiles and reduce pulsations from dynamic
∆P signals.
■ Sensing tube construction eliminates signal loss due to leakage.
■ Concentric ring sensing port configuration imitates major flow testing standards
by locating them at the center of equal areas.
■ Corrosion resistant construction.
