It is not a flow velocity.

Velocity at a given point or pressure difference can be measured by pitot tube.

Yes, pitot tube measured stagnation pressure while pitot-static tube measures both stagnation and static.

Honey said:   8 years ago
Answer is correct, it is used to measure the velocity of flow on the basis of stagnation pressure.

Leslie owusu said:   7 years ago
Pitot tube can be used for measuring the velocity head in pipes and in open channels.

Pitot tube is used for to find out the velocity of the flow pipes or soil etc.

Sai said:   9 years ago
Pitot tube is used to measure the velocity of the fluid at that point only.

Anil said:   9 years ago
It is used to measure pressure so the answer is wrong.

You are right @Jay.

Is a pressure measurement instrument used to measure fluid flow velocity?

Anujith said:   4 years ago
Pitot tube is a device used in the flowing fluid for measuring velocity.
