DIRECTIONAL PROBES
2- DIMENSIONAL PROBE STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS
YCT: |
Same as YC, except includes thermocouple inside
the head to measure total temperature. |
W: |
Three-hole, wedge shaped measuring |
WT: |
Same as W, also includes thermocouple inside the head to measure total temperature with separate inlet and
outlet holes. |
YC: |
Three-hole, prism shaped measuring section. Measures total and static pressure and yaw angle. Insensitive to pitch angle up to 20°. Furnished with individual calibration curve. Usable up to Mach 0.7. Tip extends 2 diameters beyond holes. Standard diameters are 1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 1/4", 3/8" |
YA: |
Three-hole, cylindrical. For use where only total pressure and yaw angle are to be measured. Not suitable for static pressure or pitch angles over 5°. Usable up to Mach 0.7. Tip extends 2 diameters beyond holes. Standard diameters are 1/8", 3/16", 1/4", 3/8" |
CA: |
Three tubes. For use where only total pressure and yaw angle measurement are to be measured. Usable up to Mach 0.7. Not suitable for static pressure or pitch angles over 5°. More accurate for boundary layer traverses than type YA. Standard diameters are 1/8", 5/32", 3/16", 1/4", 3/8" |
CT: |
Three tubes like CA, plus thermocouple to give total temperature, yaw
angle, and total pressure. Same application as type CA. |
