Dirty air pitot
February 2012
Pressure Measurement & Control
M&W Asketeknik develops and produces sampling and process monitoring systems for coal fired power plants worldwide. The company’s portable dirty air pitot, the DAP-SL, is designed to measure gas velocity and dynamic pressure in pipes which pneumatically transport pulverised fuel or other dry bi-phase powders.
The DAP-SL is easily inserted into a dustless connection with a DC-SL snap-lock coupling. When mounted in position on the pipe, it measures the gas velocity and differential pressure as the difference between the total pressure and the static pressure in the pipe.
Temperature inside the pipe is also measured. This information may be used as an input for the isokinetic extraction of the pulverised fuel. M&W Asketeknik is represented locally by OEN Enterprises.
