Possible areas of application

SIKA flow switches monitor the flow of low-viscosity media in pipes.
Typical areas of application are:

• Heating systems
• Cooling circuits
• Lubrication circuits
• Heat pumps
• Water-cooled welding equipment
• Compressors
• Chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry
• Cleaning systems and environmental protection facilities

Description

Piston principle
The flowing medium lifts the piston against the force of the stainless steel spring. This causes a permanent magnet located on the piston to change position and trip a reed switch. The switch output can be used to monitor the volume flow and check whether it drops below or exceeds a certain limit.
