Probes

Vectoflow’s 14-hole probe can measure flow angles up to 160 °.

Details

This probe was specially developed for measuring tasks where the angle of inflow is unknown or even a backflow is to be expected. Like all of Vectoflow’s probes, the 14-hole probe is manufactured using additive manufacturing techniques, allowing for high geometric flexibility while increasing mechanical integrity.
