STI flow switches are highly reliable devices utilized to sense the presence or absence of flow in horizontal pipelines. Model F10 switches are vane actuated for use on gas or liquid flow applications in 2 inch or larger line sizes.
Measurement Principle:
Force of liquid or air flow against a vertical flow vane mounted in a line causes a vane to pivot to a horizontal position, moving an attraction sleeve into the field of a switch magnet. This pulls the magnet toward the sleeve and actuates the switch.
Features:
Field adjustable
Low pressure drop
Process pressures to 1000 psi (69 bar)
Process temps. to +450° F (+232° C)
Actuation on increasing or decreasing flow
Special sensing elements for non-standard or high flow applications
