Product Code : SCL-PLE-10481
The Prandtl’s Pitot Tube from Lab Glassware Manufacturer, an Ambala Haryana-based lab equipment manufacturer and exporter since 1982, is a fluid mechanics apparatus supplied to schools, colleges and engineering institutes across the African Great Lakes interior – Rwanda, Burundi and the Democratic Republic of Congo – and other export markets for measuring and demonstrating fluid or airflow velocity by comparing total pressure and static pressure.
Quick answer: A Prandtl’s Pitot tube, also called a Pitot-static tube, measures flow velocity by comparing the total (dynamic plus static) pressure at its tip against the static pressure at side ports, a principle rooted in Bernoulli’s equation. It is a standard fluid mechanics teaching apparatus for college and engineering physics labs, and Lab Glassware Manufacturer supplies it to institutional and export buyers across the African Great Lakes interior and other regions with documentation support on request.

Measuring Flow Velocity Alongside Other Fluid Mechanics Apparatus
A Prandtl’s Pitot tube needs a compatible manometer or pressure sensor to read the pressure difference it generates; institutions can pair it with the U-Tube Manometers (3 pcs.) for a liquid-column reading. It complements other pressure-and-flow apparatus in a fluid mechanics lab, including the Venturi Tube, which demonstrates the same Bernoulli’s-principle relationship between velocity and pressure in a different geometry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does a Prandtl’s Pitot tube measure?
A: It measures fluid or airflow velocity by comparing total pressure at its tip against static pressure at side ports, based on Bernoulli’s principle.
Q: Does this include a manometer or pressure sensor?
A: No, a compatible manometer or pressure sensor is required separately to read the pressure difference; confirm compatibility with Lab Glassware Manufacturer before ordering.
Q: Is this suitable for engineering and college physics labs?
A: Yes, it is designed for school physics labs, college laboratories, engineering institutes, and STEM classrooms studying pressure, velocity, and flow measurement.
Q: Can Lab Glassware Manufacturer export this apparatus for institutional or tender orders?
A: Yes, Lab Glassware Manufacturer supplies the Prandtl’s Pitot tube to institutional and export buyers, including the African Great Lakes interior and other regions, with documentation support available on request.
