1.1 This practice covers the determination of Type S pitot tube coefficients in the gas velocity range from 305 to 1524 m/min or 5.08 to 25.4 m/s [1000 to 5000 ft/min]. The method applies both to the calibration of isolated Type S pitot tubes (see ), and pitobe assemblies.
1.2 This practice outlines procedures for obtaining Type S pitot tube coefficients by calibration at a single-velocity setting near the midpoint of the normal working range. Type S pitot coefficients obtained by this method will generally be valid to within 3 % over the normal working range. If a more precise correlation between Type S pitot tube coefficient and velocity is desired, multivelocity calibration technique () should be used.
1.3 This practice may be used for the calibration of thermal anemometers for gas velocities in excess of 3 m/s [10 ft/s].
