Abstract

A pressure measuring probe, in particular for use in an aircraft is disclosed. In one aspect, the pressure measuring probe includes at least one acquisition tube, including a capability for discharging water and captured crystals contained in the atmosphere, where the discharge capability includes a drainage hole arranged in a rear partition of the tube, in the axis of symmetry thereof and in the flow direction of the flow of air.

Claims (4)

1. A pressure measuring probe for an aircraft, comprising: at least one acquisition tube including a capability for discharging water and captured crystals contained in the atmosphere, wherein the discharge capability comprises a drainage hole arranged in a rear partition of the tube, in the axis of symmetry thereof and in the flow direction of the flow of air, the rear partition comprising a rear wall having a surface extending in a plane perpendicular to the axis of symmetry and facing an inner volume of the acquisition tube, wherein the acquisition tube includes a pressure tap capability placed upstream from the rear partition of the tube, wherein the pressure tap capability comprises a pressure tap hole arranged in the wall of the tube, and wherein the pressure tap hole has an axis perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the tube.

2. The pressure measuring tap according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure tap hole is arranged in the upper part of the tube.

3. An aircraft, comprising: a pressure measuring probe comprising at least one acquisition tube including a portion for discharging water and captured crystals contained in the atmosphere, wherein the discharge portion comprises a drainage hole arranged in a rear partition of the tube, in the axis of symmetry thereof and in the flow direction of the flow of air, the rear partition comprising a rear wall having a surface extending in a plane perpendicular to the axis of symmetry and facing an inner volume of the acquisition tube, wherein the acquisition tube includes a pressure tap portion placed upstream from the rear partition of the tube, wherein the pressure tap capability comprises a pressure tap hole arranged in the wall of the tube, and wherein the pressure tap hole has an axis perpendicular to the axis of symmetry of the tube.

4. The pressure measuring probe according to claim 1 , wherein the drainage hole is configured to be open during flight causing a differential pressure between the inside and the outside of the tube.
