A small, lightweight instrument featuring low-flow sensitivity and a
choice of electronic outputs, the FS10A’s precision flow sensor element
has no moving parts. Unlike capillary bypass flowmeters and controllers,
this flow switch has no cavities, orifices or dead-legs that can trap
fluids and lead to contaminated samples. The instrument’s wetted parts
are corrosion-resistant 316L stainless steel with Hastelloy-C sensor
tips. The flow range in air is from 0.1 SCFH to 20 SCFH (50 cc/min to
10,000 cc/min), and the flow range in water is 0.001 GPM to 0.03 GPM (4
cc/min to 100 cc/min). It accommodates wide turndowns with a ratio up
to 100:1. The switch output can be either an open collector (transistor)
or a 1A relay settable for NO or NC operation. The switch settings are
user programmable for trip control of hysteresis and time delay.
