Flow Switches
Flow Switches
Flow switches are used to monitor flow rates in a variety of industries, including gas and oil, water and wastewater, and irrigation systems. These switches can be made of different materials, from stainless steel to Ryton, and offer different types based on your needs. Branom stocks flow switches from many well-known suppliers, like Gems Sensors, Dwyer, Turck and Krohne ensuring you'll find the quality part you need for your specific application.

Types of Flow Switches
- Piston flow switches are devices used to detect the flow or lack of flow of liquids and gases at low flow rates. They work by using a piston to block or allow the flow of the fluid or gas through a chamber, depending on the flow rate. This allows for very accurate detection of even small changes in flow rate.
- Shuttle flow switches are designed for flow/no-flow detection in moderate to high liquid flow rates. When liquid flow is present, the switch is triggered and allows the flow to continue. However, when there is no liquid flow, the switch is designed to shut off and prevent any further flow. This makes shuttle flow switches ideal for applications where it is important to monitor and control liquid flow rates.
- Paddle flow switches are designed for flow/no-flow detection in large line sizes. These switches are typically used in applications where it is necessary to monitor the flow of liquids or gases. The paddle flow switch consists of a paddle that is mounted on a shaft. The paddle is connected to a switch that is activated when the paddle is moved by the flow of the liquid or gas.
