Flow Switches Industry Information

Flow Switches

Flow switches are used to monitor fluid or gas flow while it is passing through its valve body, then to send an electrical control sign if the flow rate is too high or too low. The signal is sent as a safety measure to another device, such as a pump, that will respond accordingly or to a switching unit within the valve body. This is an important safety feature because many processes will only operate within a certain range of flow rate, halting or becoming compromised if the flow rate exceeds or falls under that range.

Applications of Flow Switches

While all flow switches are flow meters, not all flow meters are flow switches because they are not all equipped with the ability to control the flow rate but simply to measure it. Flow switches are utilized in a wide range of applications, including air conditioning, water treatment systems, water cooled equipment, liquid transfer systems, pump systems, and industrial process control. Categorized by characteristics such as flow material, measurement type, and design, flow switches are used in a diverse array of industries, including HVAC, industrial, pharmaceutical, food and chemical processing, water treatment, and commercial.

Notable Types of Flow Switches

There are many different types of flow switches, the most common of which include gas, liquid, volumetric, and velocity flow switches. The first two types are characterized by the flowing material, whereas the last two are characterized by measurement type; thus, these types can intermingle, such as in a volumetric gas flow switch or a liquid velocity flow switch. Flow switches at their most basic consist of a valve body, sensing devices, and a switching unit that is connected to a pipeline. Gas flow switches include materials such as air and steam and are most often used in HVAC filter applications. Liquid flow switches include a much longer list of materials, which includes water, lubricants, coolants, chemicals, and slurries; these are vital to many industrial applications. Volumetric flow switches, on the other hand, can measure the flow of liquids or gases. The most important characteristic of a volumetric flow switch is that it measures the flow of the material based on volume per unit time, an example of which is cubic feet per minute. Conversely, velocity flow switches measure the flow rate of a moving material in terms of velocity, of which an example would be feet per minute.

Understanding 4-20mA Current Loop Communications

Imagine this: You’ve got your flow meter with 4-20mA output setup. Confidently, you flip the switch, turning it on and then it happens–the readings are off. You’re not getting the output you need. Frustrated, you tinker with it, and still nothing. Now, you’re out of your depth. You need to get this thing working so you can get your application up and running. What are you going to do? Who are you going to call to get help? Why is this even happening? Many times, I get asked by customers “how... Read More About This

New GF135 PTI Mass Flow Controller Revolutionizes Advanced Process Control for Semiconductor Manufacturers

HATFIELD, Pa. (March 27, 2012) – Brooks Instrument has released the GF130, a revolutionary pressure transient insensitive (PTI) mass flow controller for semiconductor manufacturing. It improved yield and uptime with real-time integral rate-of decay flow measurement and advanced diagnostic capabilities that verify accuracy, check valve leak-by and monitor sensor drift without stopping production of wafers. Alone in its class of mass flow controllers, the GF135 features “smarter” functionality with advanced zero drift and valve leak-by diagnostics. Onboard diagnostic logging, zero stability trending and correction, and early detection of valve corrosion... Read More About This
