Flow Indicators for Liquid and Gas
When a Flow Monitor is not required but simple visual indication will be sufficient; these brilliant Sight Indicators are more than suitable. With their sturdy robust design, resistance to high temperatures and glass dome making visual verification very easy.
Flow indicators serve as essential tools for visually confirming the presence or absence of flow in various industrial processes. They come in different types tailored to specific applications.
The paddle-type flow indicators feature a built-in paddle that rotates or moves in response to fluid flow. This design proves invaluable in situations where discerning flow visually is challenging, such as in clear liquids. By observing the movement of the paddle, operators can quickly determine whether flow is occurring.
In contrast, the rising ball type of flow indicator is typically employed in gas or air applications. In this design, a ball within the indicator rises in response to positive flow, providing a clear visual indication of flow status.
These flow indicators play a crucial role in industries where monitoring flow is critical for safety, efficiency, and quality control. Their simplicity and effectiveness make them indispensable tools for ensuring smooth operations and preventing potential issues.
Rising Ball Flow Indicators
When there’s no flow, the white PTFE ball stays in place within the body socket. As flow increases, the ball rises out of the socket, becoming visible. It continues to ascend and move within the dome as flow rate rises. For proper installation, mount the Flow-Mon rising ball horizontally, with the glass dome facing upwards. Clear visibility of the ball confirms flow in the pipes effectively.
