Testo Adapter, For Use With testo 420, testo 512, testo 521, testo 526

This pitot tube from Testo allows for the accurate measurement of air or liquid pressure in pipes, ducts or weirs. The tube is made from high-quality stainless steel, which offers excellent chemical and corrosion resistance. As this metal is durable and long-lasting, the tube is ideal for measuring high-flow velocities or heavily contaminated atmospheres. This component is compatible with Testo 512 manometers, which simultaneously offer pressure and flow measurements in one compact instrument.

• Extremely wide operating temperature range of 0°C to +600°C for use in harsh environments
• Broad measuring range of +1 to +100m/s for versatility
• Slender probe that can be inserted into an existing pressurised pipeline for improved ease of use
• Low loss of pressure when inserted for a high level of measuring accuracy

• Refrigeration and cold storage
• Filter measurement
• Tightness and leak detection

A pitot tube works according to a basic principle of fluid mechanics: if a fluid stops flowing, its kinetic energy is converted into pressure energy. The tube works by assisting in measuring the pressure energy of stopped fluid at any point in a pipe or channel.
