About Flowmeters and Totalizers
Flowmeters measure the rate of flow for a liquid or a gas. Totalizers measure the cumulative flow volume. Flowmeter/totalizers display both the flow rate and the cumulative flow volume.

Portable Noncontact Flowmeters
Often used to pinpoint flow issues, these flowmeters clamp onto pipe, so you can spot-check the flow rate at different points without disassembling your system. They measure by tracking the time it takes for ultrasonic waves to pass through your liquid, so they don’t need to come into contact with your liquid. As a result, they can be used with a wider range of liquids than other flowmeters.

Hazardous Location Insertion Flow Switches
Safely activate and deactivate equipment in environments with flammable gases and combustible dust when your flow rate reaches a set point. They are UL listed and CSA certified for use in hazardous locations. These switches save you from disassembling your pipeline because you insert them into pipe tees or pipe outlets instead of mounting them inline. They actuate when your system’s liquid pushes the paddle into a set position. To change your set point, the paddle has multiple layers that you can remove. For the lowest set point, use the largest paddle that will fit your pipe. To increase your set point, loosen the locking washers and remove paddles. You can trim the paddles to fine-tune your set point. The smaller the paddle, the higher the setpoint.
They should be mounted vertically into a horizontal pipeline, so liquid pushes the paddle.
These switches are calibrated with water and air. They can also be used with other liquids and gases but may not measure accurately if their viscosity is significantly different.
SPDT (singe pole, double throw) switches can turn one device from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed).
DPDT (double pole, double throw) switches can either turn two devices from off to on (normally open) or on to off (normally closed).
