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

The pitot static tube does not measure the **static pressure** directly.
It measures total pressure and can be used to calculate the dynamic pressure, but it does not provide a direct measurement of static pressure by itself.

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.

Pitot tube is used only measuring the velocity of fluid.

But it measures both static an impact pressure.
