Dwyer Series V6 Flotect® Explosion Proof Flow Switch is surprisingly compact and engineered to monitor liquid, gas, or air flows. Time tested in thousands of pipeline installations and processing plants around the world, this Series is Weatherproof, designed to meet NEMA 4 and Explosion-proof (listing included in specifications). Tees are available for installation in pipelines from 1/2″ to 2″ (12.70 to 50.80 mm). With bushings added, the unit is easily adapted to 1/4″ and 3/8″ (6.35 and 9.53 mm) piping.
Product Applications
- Protects pumps, motors, and other equipment against low or no flow
- Controls sequential operation of pumps
- Automatically starts auxiliary pumps and engines.
- Stops liquid-cooled engines, machines and processing when coolant flow is interrupted
- Shuts down burner when airflow through heating coil fails
- Controls dampers according to flow
- Signals alarm when an emergency shower or eyewash station in use
