Flow Switches

What is a Water Flow Switch?

A water flow switch is a device used to monitor the flow rate of liquids and gases through a pipeline and sends a signal to another device, such as a pump, to turn on or off depending on whether the flow rate is above or below a specified level. This ensures systems operate safely and efficiently, preventing damage or downtime due to irregular flow rates.

Different Types of Water Flow Switches

Micronics offers a wide range of flow switches designed to cater to the diverse needs of industries worldwide. Our water flow controllers are precise and reliable. They are also easy to use. This makes them ideal for tracking the flow of liquids and gases in various situations. Whether you need to monitor the flow rate for industrial processes, ventilation systems, or other critical operations, our flow switches are designed to ensure smooth performance and prevent system malfunctions.

Here are the primary types of flow switches available at Micronics:

• Ultrasonic Flow Switches: Using advanced ultrasonic technology, these switches monitor the flow rate without physically contacting the liquid or gas. This non-invasive design ensures durability and minimal maintenance, making them ideal for applications where cleanliness, hygiene, and safety are essential, such as in pharmaceutical or food industries. The ultrasonic flow switch detects changes in flow rate. It opens or closes a system based on set thresholds. This ensures smooth and uninterrupted operations.
• Magnetic Flow Switches: Perfectly suited for conductive liquids, magnetic flow monitors rely on electromagnetic induction principles to monitor the flow rate. These flow switches have no moving parts. They work accurately and reliably. They are safe to use in places where the fluid can touch them. The robust stainless steel construction of many magnetic flow switches ensures durability, even in harsh conditions, such as industrial environments or fire department applications where performance under pressure is critical.

Each of these types of flow switches has been engineered to offer specific benefits depending on the application requirements. Whether you need a gas flow switch for industrial applications, a liquid flow switch for precise measurement in water management, or a system to monitor the flow rate in heating ventilation and air conditioning systems, Micronics has a solution for you. Our flow switches are designed to cater to a broad range of applications, providing reliable control and monitoring across industries.

From ultrasonic flow switches to magnetic and thermal dispersion flow switches, Micronics offers a comprehensive range of flow control devices tailored to ensure the safety, efficiency, and reliability of your systems. Whether you are looking for solutions for delicate pharmaceutical processes or rugged industrial environments, our selection of flow switches, including options for gas and liquid monitoring, ensures that you will find the right fit for your needs.

Water Flow Sensor Application Examples

• Water Treatment Plants: Flow switches help regulate and monitor water throughout the purification process, ensuring the system operates efficiently.
• Irrigation Systems: In agriculture, flow switches are used to manage water distribution, maintaining soil moisture and saving water.
• Industrial Cooling Systems: These switches monitor cooling media flow to keep machinery running at safe temperatures.
