Pitots for "MiG-21MF" "Eduard" 1/72 Scale Model Kit Mini World 7267a

The Pitó tube is a device for measuring the total pressure of a flowing liquid (suspension) or gas. It is named after its inventor (1732), the French hydraulic engineer Henri Pitot.

The pressure (pneumometric, or full pressure tube) Pitot tube is connected to special instruments and devices. It is used to determine the relative velocity and volume flow in gas ducts and ventilation systems, complete with differential pressure gauges.

It is used as an integral part of the Prandtl tube in aviation air pressure receivers for the possibility of simultaneously determining the speed and flight altitude.
