and static heads indicated on multi-tube manometer connected to Pitot
tubes and static tappings at three locations in working section
- Pitot
tubes mounted through bed of channel for ease of priming and height
adjustment (can be traversed from floor to roof to measure velocity
profile)
- Transparent scales allow measurement of all important heights and levels
