Mechanical flow switch for liquid media with flange connection

VD-FG

Mechanical flow switch for liquid media, with DN 15 to DN 150 flange connection, 2-950 l/min H2O switching ranges, adjustable Reed contact, cast iron housing and ingress protection (IP44), optional ingress protection (IP65).

Introduction

Reliable flow monitoring starts with a switching point that can be set clearly and repeated with confidence. Designed for liquid media, this mechanical flow switch uses contactless actuation of an adjustable Reed contact and offers exact switching value setting via a 180° scale and setting diagram.
 
The robust cast iron flange housing supports use in industrial pipework from DN 15 to DN 150. Switching ranges for H2O cover 2-950 l/min, with recommended Qmax. values up to 2000 l/min and a tolerance of ±5 % of full scale. PN 16 pressure resistance and media temperatures from -20...+120 °C give the device a practical operating window for water-based applications.
 
For stable operation, the flow switch is intended for horizontal flow as standard and requires straight calming sections of 5 x DN in the inlet and outlet. Options such as ingress protection (IP65), temperature indication, temperature monitoring and internal parts made of brass or stainless steel allow adaptation to the application.

Features

Mechanical switching principle

The device monitors flow in liquid media using contactless actuation of an adjustable reed contact.

Flange connection

The product family is available with flange connection in nominal widths from DN 15 to DN 150.

Switching ranges

H2O ranges are selected by version and apply to horizontal flow with decreasing flow rate.

Electrical connection

The standard connection uses a DIN 43650-A / ISO 4400 plug and a changeover Reed switch.

Installation position

Standard mounting uses horizontal flow. Other installation positions are possible, but they affect the switching point or range.

Media handling

Water is specified as the standard medium. Oils and aggressive media are available on request.

Operating guidance

A straight calming section of 5 x DN is required in the inlet and outlet. Filters are recommended for contaminated media.

Configuration options

Options include signal lamp, ingress protection (IP65), temperature indication, temperature monitoring and higher media temperature resistance.
