  1. pitot head

    A pitot head, also known as pitot probe or pitot tube, is a device used to measure fluid flow velocity. It is named after the French engineer Henri Pitot who introduced the concept in the early 18th century. The pitot head, when pointed directly into the fluid flow, measures the stagnation or total pressure of the fluid, which can then be used to calculate the fluid's velocity or speed. It is commonly used in aviation to determine airspeed of aircrafts, in meteorology to measure wind speed, and in various engineering applications involving fluids and gases.
