The inner tube is parallel to the fluid flow, and is open at its end, facing the flow. The pressure inside it is therefore the total pressure (Pt), the sum of the static pressure and the dynamic pressure.

1.3. P RELIMINARY ESTS The user must familiarize himself with the ADSE 550 before performing tests. To avoid erroneous test results and components and instruments, particular attention should be paid to the preliminary testing procedures. Each bench is fully tested before shipment. However, to ensure the integrity of sensitive tests to be performed, Pitot and static system preliminary tests should be performed before each use.

Note: An increase of the Altitude more than 100ft, means that there is a leak in the VACUUM CONTROL valve (#8d). 7. Correct the leak before continuing the procedure. Note: If a leak persists, keep running test for the remaining valves until there is no leak. UM-55000A-U User Manual ADSE 550 Page 24 / 32...
