The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- The incoming fluid in the internal tube may be blocked off where a pressure gauge can indicate the pressure, or fed to a closed space to pressurise that space such as to the float bowl in a carburetor, or to a manometer using the fluid which is flowing.
- In that last case the height of the fluid column is proportional to the square of the velocity of the fluid at the inlet to the pitot tube.
- This relationship was discovered by Henri Pitot in 1732, when he was assigned the task of measuring the flow in the river Seine.
