FLT93L Flow Switch

Flow Switch Summary

The FLT93L inline type FlexSwitch for flow and temperature monitoring represents the first true technological breakthrough in thermal technology in over a decade. FCI is the only thermal manufacturer providing temperature compensation to ensure set point accuracy for process temperatures that vary up to ± 100°F. The FLT93L is easily field-configured or factory preset, providing unparalleled flexibility, accuracy and stability for all multiple process sensing and switching requirements.
 

Applications

  • Pump protection
  • Cooling water/heat exchangers
  • Drain line flow
