Characteristics of a wedge with various holder configurations for static-pressure measurements in subsonic gas streams

The characteristics of a wedge static-pressure sensing element with various holder configurations were determined and compared with the characteristics of the conventional tube. The probes were tested over a range of Mach number from 0.3 to 0.95 and at various pitch and yaw angles. The investigation showed that the spike-mounted wedge sensing element has a pressure coefficient comparable with the conventional subsonic static-pressure probe and the pressure coefficient of the wedge varied less than that of the conventional probe for corresponding change of yaw angle.
