Dwyer P1 Series Shuttle or piston flow switches are sensors with an electrical contact output at a specific flow rate. Models are used with oil, air, water and gases. Applications include oil flow control, low flow detection in cooling lines, and high-pressure lubrication systems.
Rugged construction and excellent chemical compatibility simplify flow/no flow detection. The Series P1 Brass Flow Switches utilize a piston-type design for accurate detection of excessive or insufficient flow rates. The switches have preset actuation points from 0.10 to 1.5 GPM for liquid flow.
Dwyer P1 Series Features
- Piston-type operation yields accurate detection of low flow rates
- The piston magnetically actuates a hermetically sealed SPST reed switch
Application
- Industrial cleaning equipment
- Detecting loss of fluid in hydraulic systems
- Assuring proper coolant flow in semiconductor processing
