Use this paddle flow switch from Sensata Cynergy3 to detect the force of liquid motion in a pipe. It's suitable for accurately monitoring both continuous and intermittent flow. The switch has a stainless steel paddle, which is durable and resistant to corrosion. A screw-on sealed lid ensures your wiring is well-protected within the housing for enhanced electrical safety. A switch like this one is frequently used in water irrigation pipes and safety sprinkler systems in industrial and commercial environments.

• IP65 (ingress protection) rating means it's protected against dust and low-pressure water jets
• Aluminium alloy housing is wear and corrosion-resistant for long-lasting performance
• Wide operating temperature range of -30°C to +75°C for use in demanding environments

This robust paddle switch is capable of reliable operation in pressures of up to 20 bar, so it's a good choice for high-pressure applications.

The best place to install this paddle switch is on a straight section of pipe where there are no obstacles that might cause fluctuations in flow rate. You should ensure there's a good length of straight pipe both in front of and behind the switch.
