Fluid Components International FLT93 series flow switches

AMS Instrumentation & Calibration is offering the FLT93 series of flow switches from Fluid Components International.

The series provides an early warning alert for potential dry running conditions, cavitation and other pump issues that can lead to emergency shutdowns, service interruptions and unplanned costly maintenance.

The product has no moving parts and a dual alarm capability. The first alarm allows the switch to detect low flow conditions between 0.003 to 0.9 m/s. This can serve as a warning system for the control system or operator, giving them the option of halting the pump if necessary.

The second alarm occurs when the pump is running dry, signalling an emergency situation required a system shutdown. The alarm prevents expensive and permanent damage to the pump by allowing early operator intervention.

The product offers flow, temperature and level sensing in the one device. Its dual 6A relay outputs can be assigned to any of these measurements. It can be specified in either insertion or inline styles for pipe or tube installation.

The switch has been tested in multiple temperatures and pressures and operates at a maximum pressure of 162 bar and 260°C. It has received a number of agency approvals including SIL-2, FM, FMc, ATEX and IECEx.
