Flow switches are an essential component of fluid control systems, used to monitor the flow of liquids or gases and trigger automatic actions based on predefined flow rates. 

What is a Flow Switch?

A flow switch is a device that senses the flow rate of fluids, such as a liquid or a gas, and activates an electric switch based on a preset flow rate. The switch can be used to turn on or off a pump, an alarm, or any other device that depends on the presence or absence of fluid flow.

Types of Flow Switches:

There are two main types of flow switches, mechanical and electronic. Mechanical flow switches use a paddle, vane, or piston to detect flow and activate a switch. Electronic flow switches use sensors and circuits to monitor flow and trigger an output signal. Each type has several variations and subtypes, depending on the application and specific requirements.

Applications of Flow Switches:

Flow switches are used in various industries, including HVAC, water treatment, food and beverage, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, etc. Some typical applications of flow switches include:

  • Pump protection: Flow switches can be used to prevent pumps from running dry, which can damage the pump and cause downtime. By monitoring the flow rate, the switch can turn off the pump if the flow drops below a preset level.
  • Flow control: Flow switches can be used to regulate the flow of fluids in pipes, tanks, and other systems. The switch can maintain a constant flow rate and prevent overflows or underflows by turning pumps on or off.
  • Safety: Flow switches can monitor the flow of hazardous or toxic fluids and trigger alarms or shutdowns if the flow rate exceeds a safe level.
  • Energy savings: Flow switches can optimize energy usage by turning off pumps or equipment when they are not needed or when the flow rate drops below a certain threshold.

Advantages of Flow Switches:

Flow switches offer several advantages over other types of flow sensors, including:

  • Simplicity: Flow switches are easy to install and operate and require minimal maintenance.
  • Cost-effectiveness: Flow switches are typically less expensive than other types of flow sensors, making them a popular choice for many applications.
  • Versatility: Flow switches can be used in various applications, from small domestic systems to significant industrial processes.
  • Reliability: Flow switches are robust and durable and can operate in harsh environments without failure.

In conclusion, flow switches are a vital component of many fluid control systems that monitor and maintain the flow of liquids or gases. With a range of types and applications, flow switches offer simplicity, cost-effectiveness, versatility, and reliability.

Earth Terminals Earth terminals or ground terminals are versatile because they can hold a diverse range of different wire sizes, meaning you have lots of practical options. Weidmuller earth blocks have a great range, giving you a choice of finding exactly the right product you need for your machine. They offer protective insulation so you can be confident that your product is safe and secure. The screw-mounted connection ensures that they are firmly clamped into position, so you don’t have to worry about loose wires. Features & Benefits Holds different wire sizes Protective insulation Screw mounted connection Product Application Information Designed to give you the best conductivity in applications such as control panels and rails. Approvals CSA certified, UL listed, SEV, DEMKO, NEMKO, LLOYDS REGISTER OF SHIPPING, SETI, KEMA, Reg of USSR Approvals 1-10 The ’W’ series screw clamp terminals are suitable for ’Top Hat’ DIN Rail and manufactured from nylon 6.6 which has a continuous temperature rating of 120°C (180°C short term). They are self-extinguishing to UL94V-0 and free from cadmium and halogen. Current bars are constructed from 10 mm electrolytic copper to ensure a current loading more than nominal rating. Terminals are suitable for mounting on symmetric ’Top Hat’ rail only (BS5584:1978, EN 50022) and are touch proof in accordance with BS 3042.
