FM Flow Switch
Brand: Ameritrol, IncThe FM series is designed to provide an extremely reliable flow switch at a very cost effective price.
This series replaces the standard explosion proof enclosure utilized in our FX series with a general-purpose enclosure.
The thermal dispersion principle of operation measures a temperature differential between a heated and a reference temperature sensor.
The differential varies as flow across the sensor changes. This allows the flow switch to detect the increase or decrease of flow of virtually all liquids, gases and slurries.

- General Purpose Enclosure
- Operates in Liquids, Gases and Slurries
- 316L Stainless Steel Sensor
