Clark Solutions Flow Meter/Switch for Water DS06

The flow meter and switch model DS06 works according to a modified variable area principle. The float is guided in a cylindrical measuring tube by means of a slotted nozzle. The flowing medium moves the float in the flow direction. An externally mounted pointer indicator is magnetically coupled to the float. It follows the float position and indicates the flow rate on a scale. A reed contact is mounted outside the meter in a sealed housing. When the float reaches the position of the reed contact the switch will close. With higher flows the float moves further upward until it reaches a built-in float stop, still keeping the switch closed. This ensures a bistable switch function at any time. The reed contact is adjustable over the full measuring range of the meter. The built in spring and magnetic float are very reliable. As the spring opposes the float and the flow it is possible to mount the flow meter in any orientation.
