What is Method 2?

Determination of Stack Gas Velocity and Volumetric Flow Rate (Type S Pitot Tube)

The average gas velocity in a stack is determined from the gas density and from
measurement of the average velocity head with a Type S (Stausscheibe or reverse type) pitot
tube. 

For more information and documents about Method 2, please consult the EPA's Method 2 webpage.
