Pitot-static tube
Pi·tot-stat·ic tube P0336800 (pē′tō-stăt′ĭk, pē-tō′-)n. A device consisting of a Pitot tube and a static tube combined to measure simultaneously the total and static pressure in a fluid stream. It can be used in aircraft to determine relative wind speed.Pitot-static tube (ˈpiːtəʊˈstætɪk) n (General Physics) combined Pitot and static pressure tubes placed in a fluid flow to measure the total and static pressures. The difference in pressures, as recorded on a manometer or airspeed indicator, indicates the fluid velocity. Also called: Pitot tube Pi′tot-stat′ic tube` (ˈpi toʊ, piˈtoʊ-)
n.
(often l.c.) a device combining a Pitot tube with a static tube, used to measure airspeed.

pitot-static tube
pitot-static tubeA combination tube used in a pitot-static system, located on the fuselage of the aircraft. It measures the total, or ram, pressure, as well as static pressure. The ram pressure is used for the ASI (air-speed indicator) and the Mach meter. The static system is used for the altimeter and the vertical speed indicator. It consists of a pitot head, which measures the total pressure of the airflow. Vents or small holes on the side of the tube are used to pick up static pressure. See pitot pressure.MedicalSeePitot tubePitot-static tube
