United Sensor stainless steel Boundary Layer Probes
measure total pressure
of a fluid near solid
boundaries. Sensing head diameters for these
probes
are constructed down to .025", with flattened
measuring tips
to minimize potential errors in total
pressure measurement due to flow turbulence
or
acceleration.
When used in conjunction with an adjacent
static tap
and Traverse Unit, Boundary Layer Probes are
especially
effective for determining velocity gradients
near the fluid / solid
boundaries.
How to Order:
To order standard probes, select the probe type (e.g.
BA, BR) best
suited to your application, then specify
by Ordering Part Number from
the model chart (e.g.
Ordering Part No. BA-.025-12-C-11-.650) according
to
desired specifications. Ordering Part Numbers cover
exact
specifications shown.
To order non-standard probes (e.g. longer or shorter
probe lengths, reinforcement tubing, pressure
take-offs, etc.)
consult United Sensor regarding your
requirements.
Type BA - A total pressure probe with a hooked shaped sensing stem and a flattened
tip to minimize the
shift in the effective center. The height of
dimension "F" is extended to project beyond the region of
disturbed flow
at the probe access hole.
Type BR - Similar to BA probe except height
of "F" is designed to fit through dimension "M" hole. Used
for measuring
near a boundary opposite the access hole.
