OMEGA’s FST-320 Series thermal 
dispersion flow switches, especially 
designed for use with gases, sense 
changes in the heat transfer 
characteristics of the gases. Flow 
velocities from 1 to 90 fps are 
effectively monitored. The flow 
switch incorporates a standard 
SPST Relay switch output for 
control flexibility. OMEGA
®
controllers can easily be interfaced 
to perform a variety of control 
functions (see page B-90). The 
FST-320 family of sensors can be 
easily installed in line sizes ranging 
from 3⁄4 to 12".
