Field of Application
- Probe calibration
Description
To use probes, it is necessary to regularly calibrate them in an open-jet wind tunnel with a known flow field and detailed knowledge of the position of the probe within the flow field. The high-speed calibration channel allows the calibration of pneumatic probes in a range of Mach numbers from 0.3 to 0.9 and for temperature probes in a temperature range from 30 °C to 90 °C. The positioning of the probe, the temperature and the Mach number are controlled via one computer/interface. Due to the compact set-up, it is possible to calibrate probes quickly and at low costs. In order to increase the accuracy of the yaw angle measurements, the probes can also be calibrated in conjunction with a probe-adjusting device of the original experimental set-up.
Measurement Techniques
- Calibration of pneumatic and temperature probes
- Stationary and transient pressure measurement technology: DMT and Kulites
- Temperature measurement technology: thermocouples type K and resistance thermometers type Pt100
