Supported Applications
The Dwyer Series 160F Stainless Steel Pitot Tube is designed for measuring the flow of air or gas streams, specifically targeting environmental testing fields requiring an accurate and reliable method to determine velocity. The straight design facilitates insertion into ducts through grills and pressure taps, aiding positioning in hard-to-reach locations where hook-style pitot tubes may not allow access.
Operating Conditions & Performance
The Series 160F measures air or gas stream flow velocity within a range of 0 to 9000 FPM (45 M/s) with an accuracy of ±2% FS. The instrument is rated for process temperatures up to 1500°F (815°C). Wetted materials consist of corrosion-resistant 304 SS, and the probe features a diameter of 1/4" [6.35].
For optimal performance, installation requires a duct diameter of 4" or larger with readings taken in a smooth, straight section minimum 10-15 duct diameters upstream and 5 diameters downstream from the pitot tube. The static pressure port is parallel to the sensing tube to allow quick alignment with airflow.
Configuration Options
The series offers multiple probe lengths configured by model suffix, providing insertion capabilities for various duct depths:
- 160F: 18" (457.2 mm) probe length; overall dimension A is 19-9/32" [489.56].
- 160F-24: 24" (609.6 mm) probe length.
- 160F-36: 36" (914.4 mm) probe length.
- 160F-48: 48" (1219.2 mm) probe length.
- 160F-60: 60" (1524 mm) probe length.
The tubes feature permanently etched insertion depth graduations for a lifetime of service and weigh 4.3 oz (122 g). The series meets the technical requirements of EU Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS II).
Key Product Differences
Variants within the Series 160F differ primarily by probe length and overall dimension, allowing selection based on duct depth. The base model 160F provides an 18" insertion length with a total length of 19-9/32", while extended models (e.g., 160F-48) increase the probe length to accommodate deeper traverses.

Works as described.
The Dwyer Model 160F-48 Pitot tube is excellent—durable, accurate, and easy to use. It provides reliable airflow measurements every time and is built to last. Highly recommend for anyone needing precise flow data in tough environments.

Is there a shorter version of this probe available? I need something more like 4-6" in total length and 1/4" stem
Hello,
Unfortunately, these do not come any shorter than 18".
