Flow control of low flow rates
A new brochure from PVL details the Honsberg range of metering and control products for controlling gases or liquids at low flow rates, where special purpose products are needed for accurate control
This miniature, side entry level switch provides user-selectable NO or NC contacts, and can be rotated by 180deg, allowing a single device to provide rising-on, rising-off, falling-on or falling-off functionality.
Simple in design, the principle of operation is a magnetic reed switch, where the magnet-equipped float moves up and down with the liquid to actuate the switch within the unit stem.
The RFS-12H is available in two mounting options for added convenience, allowing the device to be secured from either the inside or the outside of a tank.
The internal model has a 1/8inch BSP parallel thread with a running back nut, while the external model has a 1/2inch BSP taper thread.
Both have been designed to offer maximum resistance to shock and vibration.
Electrical connection is made via flying leads, maximum switching voltage is 300V AC/DC and maximum switching current is 0.5A AC/DC, with the contacts rated at 50W.
The high temperature resistance, combined with a variety of construction materials and a float requiring a liquid specific gravity of just 0.7, make the RFS-12H suitable for use with a wide range of liquids in a variety of applications.
As well as standard tank level duties, the RFS-12H is suitable for use in chemical processing systems, in automatic safety interlocks, in pump motor control systems, and other challenging applications.
This simplicity of design is the key to both the high levels of reliability and the low price, with the high temperature RFS-12H available at just GBP35. Request a free brochure from PVL ...
