Aircraft Pitot Tube Part Numbers Catalog

A pitot tube measures the total-pressure of a fluid, in aerospace applications, it measures air flow. The pitot is a hollow, bent tube that is connected to a pressure readout measurement instrument; it is installed where the fluid flow is travelling. The tube creates a dam at its opening, where some fluid will form a stagnation point, creating an opportunity to measure static pressure. The mechanism has a small hole in its structure to allow excess moisture to drain. Pitot tubes are an integral component utilized in multiple aircraft systems; they operate as a main control surface to provide integral information in determining knots calibrated airspeed (KCAS) calculations for an aircraft.

It is often discussed in association with pitot static flight instruments, or a pitot static system. These are flight critical mechanisms that are utilized to provide static air pressure and dynamic pressure information to the airspeed indicator, altimeter, and vertical speed indicator as an aircraft is in flight.

The following pitot components and related accessories are included in this category:

Heated pitot tube, pitot tube cover, baffle plate, pitot heater switch, static port, diaphragm, pitot connection, static airline, accelerometers, and others.
