WASHER & SEAL, PITOT TUBE

$3.35

Description

Function: The washer and seal assembly serves to create a watertight and airtight seal between the pitot tube and the mounting surface or housing. It prevents leaks and ensures accurate fluid velocity measurements by maintaining the integrity of the pitot tube assembly.
Design: The assembly typically consists of two components – a washer and a seal. The washer is a flat, circular disc with a central opening through which the pitot tube passes. The seal is a flexible or resilient ring or gasket that is sandwiched between the washer and the mounting surface to provide a tight seal.
Material: Washers and seals for pitot tubes are commonly made from materials that offer good sealing properties, such as rubber, silicone, or synthetic elastomers. These materials are chosen for their resilience, durability, and resistance to degradation in fluid environments.
Installation: Installing the washer and seal assembly involves placing the seal onto the mounting surface or housing, followed by positioning the washer over the seal. The pitot tube is then inserted through the central opening in the washer, and the assembly is secured in place using screws or other fasteners.
Compatibility: Washers and seals for pitot tubes come in various sizes and configurations to accommodate different pitot tube designs and mounting surfaces. It’s essential to select a washer and seal assembly that is compatible with the specific pitot tube and application requirements.
