  1. Function: The cap serves to seal off the pitot tube fitting when not in use, preventing debris, water, or foreign particles from entering and potentially obstructing the pitot tube or affecting fluid velocity measurements. It helps maintain the integrity and accuracy of the pitot tube assembly.
  2. Design: The cap is typically a small, cylindrical or dome-shaped cover that fits snugly over the end of the pitot tube fitting. It may feature internal threads or a friction fit design to secure it in place and prevent accidental removal during operation.
  3. Material: Caps for pitot tube fittings are commonly made from durable and corrosion-resistant materials such as plastic, rubber, or metal. These materials offer protection against the elements and ensure long-lasting performance in various environmental conditions.
  4. Installation: Installing the cap involves simply placing it over the end of the pitot tube fitting and securing it in place using the appropriate method, such as threading it onto the fitting or pressing it into position. The cap should fit securely to provide a tight seal.
  5. Compatibility: Caps for pitot tube fittings come in various sizes and designs to accommodate different types of pitot tubes and fittings. It’s essential to select a cap that is compatible with the specific pitot tube assembly and application requirements.
