Conventional Multi-hole Probes
Three,- five- and seven-hole probes
About the conventional Multi-hole Probes
Conventional Multi-Hole Probes are proficient in measuring flow speed and direction with high accuracy. These fundamental flow measurement tools can be manufactured in multiple configurations and geometries including straight, L-shaped, cobra and eccentric ferrule racetrack geometries, with conical, faceted, or hemispherical tips.
A complete flow data system is available by pairing our Multi-Hole Probe with our Micro Air Data Computer (several models available). When the probe is inserted into the flow, the pressures measured at each port are interpreted by our pressure-to-velocity reduction software to report magnitude and direction of the flow velocity vector with respect to the probe, as well as static and total pressure.
