Fluid Distribution Manifold and a Method for Manufacturing the Same

Abstract:

An additively manufactured fluid distribution manifold and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The fluid distribution manifold includes a manifold body defining a plurality of internal passages that may extend through an insulation layer that extends at least partially around the manifold body. The insulation layer includes an external wall and an insulated wall separated by a gap, and the external wall may define a flat surface for receiving a heating element. The fluid distribution manifold may be part of a pitot static test module for testing pitot static tubes in low temperature environments.
