Avoid complicated inline installation—these flow switches insert into a tee or pipe outlet, so you don’t need to disassemble your pipeline. They have a paddle that’s pushed as your liquid moves through to determine flow. When the paddle reaches a set position determined by the set point, it activates or deactivates equipment. They are single pole, double throw (SPDT) and can either turn one device from off to on (normally open) or on to off (normally closed). They should be mounted vertically into a large-diameter horizontal pipeline, so liquid pushes the paddle.

These flow switches are calibrated with water. You can use them with other liquids, but they may not measure accurately if the liquid’s viscosity differs from water.

Choose a fitting material that is compatible with the liquid you're running through your line.

Easy to install, these flow switches come already set to a specific set point and don’t require you to disassemble your pipeline. Instead of mounting them inline, insert them into an unthreaded PVC pipe tee or pipe outlet in large-diameter pipe. They have a paddle that’s pushed as your liquid moves through to determine flow. When the paddle reaches a set position determined by the set point, it activates or deactivates equipment. All are single pole, double throw (SPDT) and can either turn one device from off to on (normally open) or on to off (normally closed). IP rated, they seal out dust and can be lightly rinsed.

They should be mounted vertically into a horizontal pipeline, so liquid pushes the paddle. Secure them with PVC cement and primer (not included).

These flow switches are calibrated with water. You can use them with other liquids, but they may not measure accurately if the liquid’s viscosity differs from water.

When these switches reach a set flow rate, they send digital signals to your programmable logic controller (PLC) to activate automated controls or alarms. Use the adjustment screw to select their set point. As flowing liquid pushes an internal piston, the switch reads the position of the piston to measure the flow. When the piston passes the set point, the switch actuates. They must be mounted horizontally to function correctly. IP rated, they withstand dust, washdowns, and temporary submersion.

These switches are calibrated with and measure water accurately. They can also be used with other liquids by applying your liquid’s specific-gravity conversion factor to calculate the new set point.

Instead of disassembling your system for inline installation, thread these flow switches onto a mounting adapter (sold separately) and insert them into a pipe tee or pipe outlet. They send digital signals to your programmable logic controller (PLC) to activate automated controls or alarms when they reach a set flow rate. To calculate the flow rate, they generate a small amount of heat, then measure the cooling effect your liquid or gas has on it. This makes them ideal in applications with fluctuating temperatures. Use the buttons on the display to adjust the set point and other settings. These switches are accurate in any mounting position.

IP65 rated switches protect against dust and washdowns. IP67 rated switches withstand temporary submersion.

Measure the flow rate of oil at pressures up to 3,600 psi to activate or deactivate equipment. Designed to compensate for viscosity and density changes, these switches have an adjustment screw to select your specific flow rate within the set point range. As flowing liquid pushes an internal piston, the switch reads the position of the piston to measure the flow. When the piston passes the set point, the switch actuates. These switches are single pole, double throw (SPDT) and can turn one device from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed). Their IP65 rating protects them from dust and low-pressure washdowns, such as from a garden hose. All are accurate in any mounting position.

These switches are calibrated with and measure oil accurately. They can also be used with other liquids by applying your liquid’s specific-gravity conversion factor to calculate the new set point.

Send flow rate and temperature measurements simultaneously to a programmable logic controller (PLC), data logger, or other receiving device. Used to monitor status or control equipment, these transmitters, also known as transducers, convert measurements to an electrical signal that is interpreted by receiving devices. As flow or temperature increases, the output signal increases. For your receiving device to interpret the signal, you will need to calibrate it for the measurement range and output signal of the transmitter. They only give accurate readings within the rated measurement range. Mount them inline with your pipe system. They’ll measure flow correctly in any mounting orientation.

A digital display makes it easy to view readings and adjust settings at the source. To change settings and receive error messages remotely from your PLC or computer, program one of the outputs to use IO Link. You’ll need an IO Link controller (not included) to connect to your interface.

Good for compressed-air systems and other compressed gases that reach up to 3,600 psi, these switches measure the flow rate to activate or deactivate equipment when they reach a set point. Tighten or loosen the adjustment screw to choose your flow rate anywhere within the set point range. As flowing gas pushes an internal piston, the switch reads the position of the piston to measure the flow. When the piston passes the set point, the switch actuates. These switches are single pole, double throw (SPDT) and can turn one device from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed). They must be mounted horizontally to function correctly. IP rated, they seal out dust and can be lightly rinsed.

These switches are calibrated with and measure air accurately. They can also be used with other gases by applying your gases’ specific-gravity conversion factor to calculate the new set point.

Thread mounting hardware (sold separately) into your pipe connection and insert the probe of these transmitters to measure the flow and temperature of water, oil, or air. The probe is held in place with a compression fitting on the other end of the mounting hardware. They’re often used in large-diameter pipes where it would be difficult to install a transmitter inline. To calculate the flow rate, these transmitters generate a small amount of heat, then measure the cooling effect your liquid or air has on it. They measure and output both flow and temperature, making them ideal for applications where temperature fluctuates. Also known as transducers, they convert measurements to an electrical signal that can be interpreted by receiving devices, such as remote displays and programmable logic controllers (PLCs) to monitor flow or control equipment. As flow or temperature increases, the output signal increases. For your receiving device to interpret the signal, you will need to calibrate it for the measurement range and output signal of the transmitter. They only give accurate readings within the rated measurement range. They’ll measure flow correctly in any mounting orientation. These transmitters are calibrated with air, glycol solutions, oil, and water but can be recalibrated in the field for other liquids.

Adjust settings at the source using the digital display. These transmitters have two configurable outputs. One can be wired for flow or temperature as an analog output or a digital switch. The other one can be wired for flow as a digital switch, digital pulse output, or IO Link. Pulse outputs send flow data using spikes of voltage that match the input voltage of the transmitter. The higher the flow, the more pulses they send. To change settings and receive error messages remotely from your PLC or computer, you can program one of the outputs to use IO Link. You’ll need an IO Link controller (not included) to connect to your interface.
