Yaw Probe
Yaw Probes are a universally accepted means of establishing the angle at which a stream of air is traveling, in a duct or stack, when used in conjunction with a suitably ranged manometer. The slim line design of our Yaw Probe minimizes the blockage effect of the device, and having a constant diameter along the nose and body means that it is only necessary to drill a small access hole to insert the Probe into the duct
A Yaw Probe is a universally accepted means of establishing the angle at which a stream of air is traveling, in a duct or stack, when used in conjunction with a suitably ranged manometer. The slim line design of our Yaw Probes minimize the blockage effect of the device, and having a constant diameter along the nose and body means that it is only necessary to drill a small access hole to insert the Probe into the duct. The Nose is hemi-spherical and has two flat faces machined at 90° from each other, each of which has a perpendicular hole in allowing two-dimensional flow direction measurements to be obtained. The resultant pressure generated is known as the ‘Differential Pressure’ from which the media direction can be calculated.
