Piston Flow Sensor

General Purpose rotor flow switch

Reed type Piston flow sensors suitable for high pressure applications and are more suited to coping with fluids that have a higher level of particulates. Offering reliable flow detection without the need for external power the metal versions have an inline pressure capability of up to 1500 PSI and are IP67 sealed, the polypropylene version can handle up to 125 PSI. Applications include Domestic Appliances, HVAC, Industrial Cleaning, Pharmaceuticals, Cooling systems and Hydraulic systems.

  • Reed type magnetic activation
