directional probes

3-DIMENSIONAL PROBES STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS

DA: 

Five hole prism shaped measuring section. Measures total and static pressure, yaw angle and pitch angle.  Furnished with individual calibration curves up to pitch angles of 40°.  Tip extends 2 diameters beyond holes.  Typical calibration shown in Fig. 4.  Smallest size can be inserted through 1/8" hole.  Usable up to Mach .07.

Standard diameters are 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 3/8", 1.00"


DC: 

Five hole conical shaped measuring section.  Measures total and static pressure, yaw angle, and pitch angle.  More suitable for use near boundaries than type DA.  Furnished with individual calibration curves up to pitch angles of 40°.  Usable up to Mach 0.7.  DC-120 head fits through a clearance hole .62" diameter.

Typical calibration curve illustrated in Fig. 4.

Standard diameters are: 3/32", 1/8",
3/16", 1/4"

Variations

United Sensor 3 Dimensional Directional Probes are flexible in design, permitting a wide choice of options to fit individual needs; e.g., longer or shorter lengths of probes and reinforcement tubing, lager diameters for reinforcement and pressure take-offs, removable thermocouple, leadwire termination, etc.

Unless otherwise specified, all 3 Dimensional models are made of corrosion resistant non-magnetic stainless steel and silver brazed.  If required, inconel can be specified.
