Bernoulli's equation along the streamline that begins far upstream of the tube and comes to rest in the mouth of the Pitot tube shows the Pitot tube measures the stagnation pressure in the flow.

“A Pitot tube is used to measure fluid flow velocity,” said Calkins. “The tube is pointed into the flow, and the difference between the stagnation pressure at the tip of the probe and the static ...

When we hear the words “pitot tube,” we tend to think more of airplanes than of air ducts, but [Franci Kopač]’s guide to pitot tubes for makers shows that they can be a remarkably versatile ...
