ABSTRACT:
A sensor apparatus for measuring a pressure of an airflow in a duct. The sensor apparatus includes a first sensor portion that includes a first end and a second end, and that is without ports in communication with the airflow. The sensor also includes a second sensor portion that is coupled to the first sensor portion adjacent the first end, and a third sensor portion that is coupled to the first sensor portion adjacent the second end. The second sensor portion includes a first port that senses a first airflow pressure of the airflow, and a second port that senses a second airflow pressure of the airflow. The third sensor portion includes a third port that senses a third airflow pressure of the airflow, and a fourth port that senses a fourth airflow pressure of the airflow.
