Pitot tube can be used for measuring the velocity head in pipes and in open channels.

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

Pitot tube measured velocity in pipes b/c it place like that it is opposite to flow liquid so if liquid is at high velocity so they up very high vice versa.

Pitot tube is used to measure stagnation pressure.
Pitot static tube is used to measure static pressure.
By taking a difference of static and stagnation pressure we get dynamic pressure.
By using Dynamic pressure we can find velocity of flow.
Pitot static tube is used to measure static pressure.
By taking a difference of static and stagnation pressure we get dynamic pressure.
By using Dynamic pressure we can find velocity of flow.

A pitot tube, also known as pitot probe, is a flow measurement device used to measure fluid flow velocity. The pitot tube was invented by the French engineer Henri Pitot in the early 18th century and was modified to its modern form in the mid-19th century by French scientist Henry Darcy.
