    Fixed-Set-Point Insertion-Mount Flow Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Flow Switches. Fixed-Set-Point Insertion-Mount Flow Switches.
    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.

    Electronic Insertion-Mount Flow Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Flow Switches. Electronic Insertion-Mount Flow Switches.
    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.

    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.
    Noryl Body—Switches with a Noryl body have a paddle that you trim to adjust the set point. The more you trim, the higher the set point.
    Socket-Connect Fitting Connection—Socket-connect flow switches bond to an unthreaded PVC pipe tee or pipe outlet with PVC cement and primer (not included).
    Noryl Fitting—Noryl fittings work with a wide range of chemicals.
    IP65 Enclosure Rating—IP65 rated switches seal out dust and can be lightly rinsed.

    Since they come factory set to a specific set point, these switches are easier to install than adjustable flow switches. 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’re accurate in any mounting position.
    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.

    Contactless Flow Transmitters

    Image of ProductInUse. Front orientation. Flow Transmitters. Contactless Flow Transmitters.
    Using ultrasonic waves, these transmitters measure the flow rate of your liquid from outside your pipe. They're a good choice for applications where you need to retrofit your system or avoid liquid coming into contact with the transmitter. Also known as transducers, these transmitters convert measurements to an electrical pulse that can be interpreted by receiving devices, such as remote displays and programmable logic controllers (PLCs). The pulse outputs match the input voltage of the transmitter. The higher the flow, the more pulses they send. 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. Configure them for either a 4-20mA or digital pulse output when installing.
    A digital display makes it easy to check flow rate and configure settings. Clamp these transmitters onto your pipe with the included mounting hardware and gel pads. They measure flow no matter the mounting orientation.
    These transmitters are calibrated with water but can be used with other liquids and will generally measure accurately, even if they differ in viscosity and density. You can recalibrate them in the field for accurate readings on pipe and operating conditions.

    Safe to use where flammable gases and combustible dust may be present, these switches activate or deactivate when your flow reaches a factory-set level. All are UL listed for hazardous environments. Because their set point is fixed, they’re ready to go, making them easy to install. They actuate when your flowing liquid or gas pushes their paddle into a set position. 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 accurately.

    For monitoring flow at a glance, these switches have a plastic window with a rotor indicator that spins when there’s flow. They activate or deactivate equipment when the flow rate reaches your set point. Tighten or loosen the adjustment screw to choose your set point anywhere within the range. To measure flow, they count how many times the turbine turns as liquid flows through. Use them only with clean, low-viscosity liquids to prevent clogging the turbine and other damage. 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).
    These switches are calibrated with water. They can also be used with other liquids but may not measure accurately if their viscosity is significantly different.

    Accurate even in applications where pressure fluctuates regularly, these flow switches split flow into two paths and measure their difference in pressure drop to calculate the flow rate of liquid. They activate or deactivate equipment when the flow rate reaches your set point. Tighten or loosen the adjustment screw to choose your set point anywhere within the range. They measure accurately no matter their mounting position. 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). Rated NEMA 4X and IP66, they seal out dust and protect against washdowns and corrosion.
    These switches are calibrated with water. They can also be used with other liquids but may not measure accurately if their viscosity is significantly different.

    Vortex Flow

    Measurement

    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.
    Variable Area Flow Measurement—Variable-area transmitters determine the flow rate by tracking where the liquid pushes the piston. They have two configurable outputs. One can be wired as an analog output or a digital switch. The other one can be wired 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. These transmitters are calibrated with water, glycol solutions, and coolants but can be recalibrated in the field for other liquids.
    Vortex Flow Measurement—Vortex transmitters determine the flow rate by measuring the size of the vortex created as liquid flows through them. They don’t have any moving parts that can break or get stuck. Use them only with liquids that are at least 95% water. They have one analog output for flow and another for temperature. The output for temperature can also be wired for IO Link.

    Flow Transmitters with Sight

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Flow Transmitters. Flow Transmitters with Sight.
    Send flow rate data using these transmitters while also being able to visually confirm liquid is flowing. They measure flow by counting how many times the turbine turns as the liquid moves through it. To prevent clogging the turbine and other damage, use them only with clean, low-viscosity liquids. These transmitters, also known as transducers, convert the flow measurement 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. Mount them directly inline with your system. They measure accurately in any mounting orientation.
    These transmitters 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.
    Analog Transmitter Output—Transmitters with an analog output increase their output signal as flow 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.
    Digital Pulse Output—Transmitters with a digital pulse output send flow data using spikes of voltage that match the input voltage of the transmitter. The higher the flow, the more pulses they send.

    High-Pressure Flow Switches for Oil

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Flow Switches. High-Pressure Flow Switches for Oil.
    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.

    High-Pressure Flow Switches for Gas

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Flow Switches. High-Pressure Flow Switches for Gas.
    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.

    Also known as magmeters, these transmitters use a magnetic field to measure flow rate and temperature with high accuracy. Because they use a magnetic field, they only work with conductive liquids, such as water. These transmitters, also known as transducers, 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. For your receiving device to interpret the signal, you will need to calibrate it for the measurement range and output signal of the transmitter. As flow or temperature increases, the output signal increases. These transmitters have one analog output for flow and another for temperature. They only give accurate readings within the rated measurement range. A digital display makes it easy to view readings and adjust settings at the source. Mount these transmitters inline with your pipe system. They measure flow correctly in any mounting orientation.
    These transmitters are calibrated with water. They can only be used with liquids with a conductivity of at least 20 µS/cm.
