RS PRO Flow Switch
The RS PRO paddle flow switch has a flow rate of 4L/min to 5.5L/min. This instrument operates by a spring-supported paddle with the magnetic triggering of a micro switch. It monitors liquid flow using a paddle. It has a spring-supported stainless steel paddle located in the flow chamber moved by a medium in the direction of flow. When a preset flow rate is approached, the magnet connected to the paddle attracts the magnet with opposite poles outside the flow chamber linked to a microswitch. This generates a limit value when the actual flow rate is above or below a nominal value preset.
Note:
Mainly used on water. However, if used with oil, the readings may differ due to the viscosity of the liquid.
