Keywords: flow speed, temperature, incidence, measurement, thermocouple

New application possibilities of the thermometers for the purpose of the measurements of the mean velocity flow field, which is the vector of velocity and its direction in the space is described. The application is based on the directional characteristic (recovery factor) of the cylindrical shaped termocouple probe and its specific course.
