FLO-GARD™ II RCM INLINE FLOW SWITCHES

Flo-GardRCM's broad range of flow switches provide economical solutions for equipment protection and automation.

Our general purpose reed switches make or break contacts by detecting the position of a magnet permanently attached to the bellow. Our reed switches can also be ordered for use in hazardous location (Option IS), when fitted with LED's (Option LED) it provides viewing at a glance when flow rate goes below or above the set point and makes field calibration easy.

Select a switch with a maximum flow range greater than the required switch point. Best performance at minimum pressure drop occurs at approximately 50% of maximum flow range.

 
Select a) body size, b) end connections, c) material, d) maximum flow rate, e) options (if required) and f) number of switches.
 
A) BODY SIZE
pipe size at the meter inlet. Select from Standard Flow Ranges and Sizes
 
B) SERIES (end connections)
1 - threaded units provided with FNPT connections standard. FBSP parallel threads available on request for bronze meters.
2 - wafer units mount between any standard 150 or 300 class flanges (or international equivalent).
 
C) MATERIAL
1 = Bronze 3 = Stainless steel (316)
 
D) FLOW RATE
(maximum) - Select from Standard Flow Ranges and Sizes, page 2. Prefix full scale with "M" for metric units.
 
E) OPTIONS
Select from table of Options. Note: For gas service, select option I and specify gas being ---------measured, inlet temperature and pressure
 
F) NUMBER OF SWITCHES
1S2 - One single pole double throw switch 2S2 - Two single pole double throw switches
 
G) IS - Intrinsic Safe Approval (Included w / 1S2 or 2S2 Only).
 
H) LED - Light Emitting Diode (optional no charge).
