For traverses taken in round duct equal to or less than 10" (250 mm) in diameter, a l/8" (3<br />

mm) diameter Pitot tube shall be used. The 1/8" (3 mm) diameter Pitot tube must be<br />

marked so that 12 velocity pressures (six for each hole) can be taken at the center <strong>of</strong><br />

equal concentric areas. Pitot tube locations for traversing the round duct with 12<br />

readings are given in Figure 3.2:<br />

Square or Rectangular Duct Traverse<br />

Performing a Pitot tube traverse <strong>of</strong> a square or rectangular duct, the number <strong>and</strong> spacing<br />

<strong>of</strong> the holes in the duct <strong>and</strong> the markings on the Pitot tube are determined using the<br />

following method:<br />

The minimum number <strong>of</strong> readings taken in a square or rectangle duct is 4. This would be<br />

for a duct with height <strong>and</strong> width 4" (100 m) or less. The number <strong>of</strong> readings for each side<br />

will be based on Figure 3.3.<br />
