Flow Switches

Flow switches are devices that monitor flow and send a trip signal to other devices, like a pump, for protection. These switches can be used for the measurement of gases, liquids, and steam. Flow switch applications include pump staging, pump or valve failure, flow or blockage detection, and flow protection. Important operating and performance considerations should include the operating temperature; media temperature range; and mass flow, velocity, gas volumetric, and liquid volumetric ranges.
