Rakes

Rakes integrate multiple measuring heads into a single probe, making them ideal for simultaneous determination of flow parameters at multiple measuring points. These versatile tools can be equipped with various probe heads, including multi-hole, kiel probe for total pressure and total temperature measurement, static pressure sensors, and pressure tabs.

Product details

By combining different probe heads such as multi-hole, kiel for total pressure and total temperature, and static pressure sensors within a single rake or probe, customers benefit from enhanced spatial resolution. Our innovative additive manufacturing process offers unparalleled geometric flexibility, allowing rakes to be precisely tailored to specific applications or seamlessly integrated into other components while ensuring exceptional mechanical strength.
Vectoflow customises rake designs according to customer specifications, leveraging Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations for optimal performance.
Additionally, we conduct rigorous verification procedures including assessments of roughness, geometric precision, crack formation (via X-ray or FPI examinations), and natural frequencies to ensure quality and reliability.
Subsequently, all rakes undergo calibration in one of Vectoflow's proprietary calibration wind tunnels to ensure accuracy and consistency in all measurement outcomes.
