    Socket-Connect Flowmeter/Totalizers with Remote Display

    Often used in hard-to-access areas, these flowmeter/totalizers have a display that can be placed up to 25 feet from the sensor. Use them to measure the rate and volume of liquid flowing through your system. They measure flow by counting how many times their turbine turns as liquid flows through. To avoid clogging the turbine and other damage to the sensor, use them only with clean, low-viscosity liquids. Batch totals are resettable but can be protected with a security code to prevent tampering. The reset function can also be disabled so that they operate as a cumulative totalizer. Cumulative totals cannot be reset. No matter the mounting orientation, they’ll measure flow correctly.
    These flowmeter/totalizers 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.
    For a complete unit, you’ll need a display, a sensor, and a tee fitting.

    Hazardous-Location Insertion-Mount Flow Switches

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Flow Switches. Hazardous-Location Insertion-Mount 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—SPDT (singe pole, double throw) switches can turn one device from off to on (normally open) or from on to off (normally closed).
    DPDT—DPDT (double pole, double throw) switches can either turn two devices from off to on (normally open) or on to off (normally closed).

    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.

    The unthreaded ends of these flowmeter/totalizers install into a PVC piping system, so you can measure the flow rate and volume of liquid passing through your system. Bond the joint together with PVC cement and primer. You can reset the batch total, but you can't reset the cumulative total. They measure flow correctly no matter the mounting orientation.
    These flowmeter/totalizers are calibrated with water.
    Turbine Flow Measurement—Turbine flowmeter/totalizers measure flow by counting how many times their turbine turns as liquid passes through. To avoid clogging the turbine and other damage, use them only with clean, low-viscosity liquids. You can recalibrate them in the field to other liquids, pipe, and operating conditions.
    Ultrasonic Flow Measurement—Ultrasonic flowmeter/totalizers measure flow with ultrasonic waves, so they don’t have internal moving parts that can break or get stuck.

    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.

    Socket-Connect Flowmeters

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Flowmeters. Socket-Connect Flowmeters.
    Easily install the unthreaded ends of these flowmeters into a PVC piping system. Bond the ends to PVC pipe with PVC cement and primer. They measure flow correctly no matter the mounting orientation. As liquid flows through the meter, it pushes an indicator up the scale, showing you the flow rate. They work with a wide range of chemicals since the fittings are made from PVC.
    These flowmeters are calibrated with water but can be used with other liquids. If you’re using these with a liquid other than water, you’ll need to calculate the flow rate by multiplying the number shown on the scale by the specific-gravity conversion factor for your liquid.
