    • @aykutgurkan7008

      I do not recommend using a pitot in dust collecting units. Small holes in the pitot tube can become blocked.

      @@aykutgurkan7008 Thanks for the tip. If you have a suggestion of a better way to make and use cheap/free home made sensors and instruments to gauge the performance of a dust collection system in a hobby work shop, I'm most definitely interested.
      Actually though, the big worry is that a big chunk of something will get sucked through one of the blast gates, rattle down the duct and smash the pitot tube, or get hung up on the pitot, clogging the duct, which is why I rejected...blah blah 3d printed impeller...encoder from an old mouse...blah blah Arduino...display....wires...code..of some sort inside the duct.
      All I really care about is relative performance so a water column and some marks on the wall showing how much vacuum I can pull when the filter is clean and the system is working is maybe a slightly better system than "Huh, the dust hood for the miter saw isn't working all that well today....maybe I ought to dump the dust bin"

    How should I interpret the Negative Static pressure you measure? To get Total Pressure do I add the negative static pressure value to the Velocity Pressure? Or do in use the absolute value of the measured (and negative) static press (ie treat it as a positive value)?

  • @poker5147

    How do I measure this on a large air handling unit fan with a large duct? Where my pitot tube can't even reach the middle of the duct because the cross sectional area is so large?

    • @oxyl8ltd41

      Ah! Then you need a big Pitot. You can purchase Pitots up to 3m long to my knowledge.

    Can you use this instrument to measure duct leakage?

    • @oxyl8ltd41
      @oxyl8ltd41  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It can be used only to measure air flows in a ducted system. Duct leakage is usually measured from pressure loss using a manometer. You might find this document useful:- tc0502.ashraetcs.org/documents/presentations/Need_for_Duct_Leakage.pdf

    Sir we know V = ✓2gh where h equals to velocity pressure and volume equals to area of duct x velocity .
    Now how do you find V= 1.29✓velocity pressure .
    Somewhere I find V= 1096.7✓velocity pressure ÷ density where density is 1.23 lb/ cu ft air at barometric pressure 29.45 hg column and atmosphere temp is 460 + 75 °f . .
    Pl text how do u find 1.29 ?

    • @oxyl8ltd41
      @oxyl8ltd41  ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry - I do not monitor this question log - but here is your (very) late answer. The full formula is (for metric conversions only) - V (velocity) = SQRT(Vp/0.5p) where p = air density. But in most cases we use Pitots in duct at around 20C where the air density is 1.2Kg/m3. If we put that figure into the main equation we could reduce it/simplify it to V=1.29SQRT(Vp) ...... but ONLY if the air in the duct is around 20C - otherwise you need to use the full equation.
