F10 & F50 Flow Switches DESCRIPTION Magnetrol ® flow switches are highly reliable devices utilized to sense the start or stop of flow in horizontal pipelines containing oil and petroleum derivatives, chemicals, water, or air. Vane-actuated Model F10 switches are used on gas or liquid flow applications in 2" or larger line sizes. Disc actuated Model F50 switches are in-line type used for sensing clean liquids in 2" or smaller line sizes. FEATURES • Actuation on increasing or decreasing flow • Special sensing elements for non-standard or high flow applications Model F50 Model F10 • Designed for horizontal pipe applications • Available switch styles include dry contact, hermetically sealed and pneumatic Model F10 APPLICATIONS • Field adjustable • Low pressure drop • Pump staging or failure • Process pressures to 1000 psig (69 bar) • Pipeline flow detection • Process temperatures to +450° F (+232° C) • Valve failure • Standard flow vanes for 2" thru 10" flow lines • Loss of pipeline flow Model F50 • Pipe blockage/rupture • No calibration required • Bronze or stainless steel construction • Pump inlet flow protection • Process pressures to 1150 psig (79.2 bar) • Check valve blockage/leakage • Process temperatures to +750° F (+399° C) • Alarm on eyewash or shower safety station • Bodies for flow lines from 3⁄4" to 2" TECHNOLOGY Model F10 Flow through the horizontal pipeline causes the pivoted vane assembly to swing in the direction of the flow. The vane assembly lifts an attraction sleeve which in turn causes the magnet to pull in and actuate the switch. above the attraction sleeve. Turning the adjusting screw clockwise increases the flow rate at which the switch actuates. Adjustments can be made while the flow switch is in service. The O-ring sealed adjusting screw in the top of the enclosing tube compresses the range spring located Adjusting screw Pivot Pivot Return spring Magnetic sleeve Swing out position Return Spring Magnet Actuating vane Model F50 The rate of flow through the valve body raises or lowers the disc. This in turn raises or lowers the magnetic sleeve within its sealed non-magnetic enclosing tube. On an increasing flow rate, the magnetic sleeve rises into the Switch mechanism field of the permanent magnet, located outside the enclosing tube, actuating the attached switch mechanism. When the flow rate drops below the rate for which the flow disc is calibrated, a reversal of this action occurs.
