Flow Switch

A flow switch is a device used to monitor the flow of a liquid or gas in a pipeline. It typically contains a sensor that detects the flow rate and triggers a response, such as turning on or off a pump, activating an alarm, or sending a signal to a control system. Flow switches are commonly used in various industrial applications, including HVAC systems, water treatment plants, chemical processing, and oil refineries, to ensure proper flow and prevent damage or inefficiencies caused by inadequate or excessive flow rates.

Why chose Flow Switch?

Increased features, performance, and versatility are available in the FS16 Flow Switch. The FS16 provides visibility to the flow rate while providing alarm setThermal Instrument Model # 600-9/FS16 Dual Alarm Flow Switch. Pictured with 1/2″ MNPT Pipe Connection for Water Flow.

As usual, any instrument ordered from Thermal Instrument Company is designed to perform in industrial applications.

We build all of our flow elements out of 316SS, but offer other exotic materials as necessary dependent upon application need. Hastelloy, Tantalum, Monel, and others have been used in the harshest of flow applications. Our circuitry is housed in a cast aluminum enclosure that allows the end user to modify set points as necessary, quickly and easily. The instrument can be set up to monitor liquid or gas applications in line sizes as small as 1/4″ OD to large duct or pipe lines. If your process requires Flow / No Flow or the ability to set up a Low Flow Rate Alarm or High Flow Rate Alarm, or both, you have found the right switch.

FS SERIES

FS-62-9/ 600-9

With its combination of durability, accuracy, versatility, and user-friendliness, this mass flow switch stands out as the cost-effective choice for your process flow needs. Its electronics are housed within a sturdy cast aluminum condulet, which can be seamlessly integrated onto the Model 62-9 and 600-9. This allows plant technicians to easily adjust the trip point in the field by manipulating the potentiometer. By using a voltmeter, technicians can then compare the trip point voltage with the calibration voltages provided on the accompanying calibration chart. Additionally, enabling the trip high/trip low function in the field is as simple as changing a jumper.
