Thegeneralpurposeflowswitchpackageprovidesreliablenoorlow‐flowdetectionofrelativelycleannon‐
coating media with a 16A SPDT compact flow controller for pump or process protection. Liquid examples
includewaterandsulfuricacid.Theoptionalflashalarmbrings attention to low‐flow alarm conditions.
Available in Polypropylene‐Ryton® or Polyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF), the short flow sensor is used in pipe
