OMEGA® FST-200 Series flow
switches use thermal dispersion
technology to create a very accurate
and economical method of sensing
flow. Monitor fluids from 0.4 to
1.2 specific gravity, 1 to 300 cp,
and pulsating flow from 10 to 100
pulses per minute. The sensors
incorporate two temperature probes,
one of which is heated. The flow of
liquid reduces the temperature of
the heated probe, decreasing the
temperature differential with the
non-heated probe. OMEGA’s LVCN
Series of controllers can easily be
interfaced to perform a variety of
control functions.
