		Pitot tubes are commonly found on aircraft and are used to measure the speed of the aircraft through the air.
		A pressure transducer contrasts the pressure from the pitot tube with the static pressure (which is input through a small hole that is usually on the side of the aircraft and facing perpendicular to the wind) to compute the relative air speed of the aircraft.

	Differential Pressure Flowmeters
		Pitot tubes were invented by Henri Pitot in 1732 to measure the flowing velocity of fluids.
		Pitot tubes are generally used for flow measurements of secondary importance, where cost is a major concern, and/or when the pipe or duct diameter is large (up to 72 inches or more).
		Pitot tubes should be used only if the minimum Reynolds number exceeds 20,000 and if either a straight run of about 25 diameters can be provided upstream to the pitot tube or if straightening vanes can be installed.

	Flow Meters \| Make the most of averaging Pitot tubes \| Chemical Processing
		Often, the multi-port averaging Pitot tube is an appropriate and economic choice as the primary element for measuring liquids, gases or steam.
		The Pitot tube is a “square root device,” meaning the square root of the DP is proportional to the flow rate.
		Among the reasons for this are percent blockage of the probe in the pipe and shedding vortices that cause a suctioning effect at the downstream static pressure ports, producing a larger measured DP than the theoretically predicted value.

	eFunda: Theory of Pitot Static Tubes
		The Pitot tube (named after Henri Pitot in 1732) measures a fluid velocity by converting the kinetic energy of the flow into potential energy.
		Converting the resulting differential pressure measurement into a fluid velocity depends on the particular fluid flow regime the Pitot tube is measuring.
		When a Pitot tube is exposed to a subsonic compressible flow (0.3 < M < 1), fluid traveling along the streamline that ends on the Pitot tube's stagnation point is continuously compressed.

	Aerospace - Applications
		But pressure sensors can also be used for velocity measurement, like in Pitot tubes for example.
		The Pitot tube (named after Henri Pitot in 1732) measures a fluid velocity by measuring the pressure difference between two points: One that is perpendicular to the flow and another one parallel to the flow.
		A device like the MS5201D is ideal for that kind of application since its nozzle ease connection of pressure source.

		The pressure measured is then the difference between the pressure in the Pitot tube generated by the airplane's forward speed, and the static pressure.
