Cobra probe
Encyclopedia
A Cobra probe is a device to measure the pressure
of a moving fluid
. In this kind of instrument, there are two yaw direction tubes which are chamfered and silver
soldered symmetrically on the two sides of a pitot tube. It is otherwise similar to the other kinds of yawmeters.
Pressure
Pressure is the force per unit area applied in a direction perpendicular to the surface of an object. Gauge pressure is the pressure relative to the local atmospheric or ambient pressure.- Definition :...

Silver
Silver is a metallic chemical element with the chemical symbol Ag and atomic number 47. A soft, white, lustrous transition metal, it has the highest electrical conductivity of any element and the highest thermal conductivity of any metal...
