A PITO tube is used to measure airspeed of the plane. The covers are put over the tubes when the aircraft is going to be on the ground for an extended period of time, and are removed before takeoff. They are there to prevent tube blockages, leading to airspeed failure, which (and it has happened) could mean a possible accident.

What is a pitot tube used for?
A pitot tube is used to measure local velocity in a flowing fluid. The pitot tube hole must face the flowing fluid. The local velocity, u , is given by : u = SQRT [ ( delta P ) ( 2 ) ( g sub C ) / ( rho ) ]
Who invented type of pressure measuring instrument in 18th century in France?
Pitot Tube
What is the difference between a manometer and a pitot?
A manometer is a device for measuring pressures, especially the word is used for pressure meters that are constructed to use a liquid in a transparent U-tube. A peizometer is specifically about measuring pressures in ground water wells.
How does a hydraulic gauge work?
Normally using a calibrated bellows or bourdon tube. As pressure is sensed by the device it inflates the tube or bellow which in turn causes the needle to rotate. Pre-seventies pitot and static systems on aircraft use this very technology to relay information like true air speed to the pilots.
Why the volume measured in a pitot tube is more higher the that of a venturi meter?
water flow from a tank having a free surface area of 10m2 over a 900 notch.it is found that the time taken to lower the level from 8cm to 7cm above the level of the notch is 43.5sec.determine the coefficient of discharge assuming it remains constant during the period
What does it mean when the airspeed indicator reads zero while in flight?
It means that for some reason ram-air is not being allowed into the pitot tube, or the static air system has become clogged in some other way. Most commonly this is caused by forgetting to remove the pitot cover, failing to turn on the pitot heater when necessary, or by a bird or bug strike on the pitot tube. If it can be visually verified that the pitot cover has been removed, the pilot should engage the pitot heat. If there is a backup gauge serviced by a separate system, then that should be used.

Who is Emil Daiber?
he invented the heater from the pitot tube.
How does the Bernoulli equation relate to the function and operation of a pitot tube?
The Bernoulli equation is used to explain the relationship between fluid pressure, velocity, and elevation in a flowing fluid. In the context of a pitot tube, the Bernoulli equation helps to calculate the airspeed of an aircraft by comparing the total pressure and static pressure measured by the pitot tube. The pitot tube uses this principle to determine the speed of the aircraft based on the difference in pressure between the total pressure and static pressure.
What instruments are affected if the pitot tube freezes over?
airspeed indicator
How does a pitot tube utilize the principles of Bernoulli's equation to measure fluid flow velocity?
A pitot tube uses Bernoulli's equation to measure fluid flow velocity by comparing the pressure difference between the stagnation point and the dynamic pressure of the fluid. This difference in pressure is used to calculate the velocity of the fluid flowing past the pitot tube.
Who invented type of pressure measuring instrument in 18th century in France?
Pitot Tube
Which are the other methods or devices use for the measurement of speed?
Jets use a pitot tube.
How speed calculated in aircraft?
One way to measure airspeed is to use a device called a pitot tube.
What is the name of the device detect the speed of an aeroplane?
It is called Pitot Tube. It measures fluid flow velocity. The results are displayed on the Airspeed Indicator.The pitot tubes detect the speed of the plane.
How pitot probe heaters are controlled?
The pitot (peetoe) tube is a device that has a small hole in the front that allows ram air pressure to go to the airspeed indicator. Under conditions with a lot of moisture in the air, especially in fog or in clouds or in precipitation, moisture can collect in the opening and freeze, thus blocking the pitot tube and cutting off your airspeed indication (or making it wrong, which is worse). The pitot heater prevents freezing. Pilots simply control this by flipping a switch in the cockpit of the aircraft, usually located near the Anti-icing switches for the aircraft.
Application of U-tube manometer?
@used to measure pressure in pitot or orfices located in the airflow in air handling or ventilation system..
