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, see page B-90
for details.
