Based on the Bernoulli effect, Vectoflow probes can be used to easily and precisely determine the pressure, speed and angle of attack of fluid flows. To do this, the pressure distribution at the probe tip is considered, which ultimately allows the flow parameters to be determined. The following applies: the more holes on the probe tip, the higher the achievable accuracy and the measurable angular range.
The Vectoflow manufacturing process enables you to flexibly design your probe to suit your application.
We realize probe diameters from 1,2 mm and lengths up to 250 mm (standard).
Possible materials are:
The following information depends on the geometry, material, head shape and measuring sensors used.

| Tip geometry | Cone, hemisphere, special shapes | |
| Tip diameter | from 1,2 mm, 3 mm standard | |
| Geometrie | Variable, one-piece lengths max. 250 mm x 250 mm | |
| Attachment | Variable (e.g. square, hexagon) | |
| Temperature range | -50 ° C to + 1200 ° C | |
| Speed | 3 m/s to Mach 2 (1% accuracy) | |
