Abstract

A static pressure sensor for sensing the static pressure within a duct regardless of the direction of the air moving through the duct is disclosed having a tube for sensing static pressure, the tube providing an output pressure which is dependent upon the static pressure and a mechanism for permitting the alignment of the tube with respect to the direction of air moving through the duct so that the sensor is direction insensitive to that air.
