Process Media Fire Control Systems Cooling Systems Heat Pumps Hydraulic Lifts Water Treatment Chemicals
 
Features
Adjustable Flow Monitor
Monitors both Gases and Liquids
Materials: Brass or 316ss
Confirms: Normal flow conditions
Senses: High flow or Low flow conditions
Output: Switch Contact
   
 
 

Operation

When flow is increased, the magnetic piston is forced against a bias spring. As the magnet comes near the adjustable read switch it actuates, indicating proper flow. When flow decreases the spring forces the piston in the opposite direction deactuating the reed switch and indicating a reduced or no flow situation.
FAV SERIES
Actuation points for air at 68 F and 14.7 PSIA with increasing flow.
Deactuation (decreasing flow) averages 40% less than actuation (increasing flow).
Repeatability ±2%
Unit will pass greater flows
Corrections must be made for other gases, line pressure and temperatures. Please consult your representative or the factory.
