Then what does it measure?

Measurement of a velocity is a common use of pitot tubes. The pitot tube measures the difference between stagnation pressure and static pressure. A value for the fluid density is also needed.

The pitot-static system of instruments uses the principle of air pressure gradient.
-> These pressures can be measured either from the static port or the pitot tube.
-> The pitot pressure is a measure of ram air pressure under ideal conditions, which is equal to stagnation pressure.
-> The static pressure is generally measured using the static ports on the side of the fuselage.

But it measures both static an impact pressure.

Pitot tubes can be used to measure fluid flow velocity by measuring static and dynamic pressure difference.

Pitot tube measure fluid velocity at a point.
It's also used to measure the velocities of submarines.
