VAP Insertion Probe - Air Flow Measurement: Cut Sheet

Product catalog summary
Overview: The VAP3® Pitot is a specialized device designed for accurate flow measurement and control in air or gas flow ducts. It features a unique Velocity Averaging and Parallel Plate design, suitable for both clean air and particulate-laden applications.
Specifications:
  • Design: The VAP3® Pitot includes multiple differential pressure-sensing ports for velocity averaging across the duct.
  • Material: Made from Teflon® hard anodized 6063 aluminum extrusion with a Rockwell Hardness of 65C, suitable for temperatures up to 700°F.
  • Profile: Low profile design minimizes unrecovered pressure loss.
Types and Applications:
  • VAP3®/SA: Designed for clean air applications.
  • VAP3®/PA: Plug-resistant, suitable for environments with airborne particulates.
  • Heated Pitot: Suitable for areas prone to ice buildup.
  • VAP3®/XL: Suitable for duct installations up to 240 inches.
Installation Options:
  • Can be inserted directly into ducts or incorporated into flow-conditioning devices like the High Beta® for turbulent air conditions.
  • Available in various duct orientations, including flanged DSV bolted into existing ducts.

VAP Insertion Probe - Air Flow Measurement: Cut Sheet-1

VAP ® Pitot VAP3® Pitots have a unique Velocity Averaging and Parallel Plate proprietary design. When inserted into air or gas flow ducts, VAP3® Pitots provide an accurate differential pressure output that allows for precise flow measurement and control of your process. VAP3® Pitots work well with almost any transmitter and are designed for both clean air applications (VAP3®/SA) and for heavily particulate‐laden applications (VAP3®/PA‐ Plug Resistant). Both styles of VAP3® Pitots can be installed directly into ducts or can be incorporated into flow‐conditioning devices, such as the High Beta®, which are designed for installations where turbulent air and insufficient duct runs are present. Velocity Averaging Parallel Plate Design: Multi‐ ple differential pressure‐sensing ports allow velocity averaging throughout the full traverse of the duct VAP3® Pitot Arrays in Various Duct Orientations PITOT ARRAY INSERTED DIRECTLY INTO DUCTS VAP3®/PA Resists Airborne Particulate Plugging: No blast purge system is required Hardened, Slick Surface: Teflon® hard anodized 6063 aluminum extrusion with a Rockwell Hardness of 65C (for temperatures up to 700° F) Low Profile Design: Minimizes unrecovered pres
