FLOW SWITCHES

Flow Switches That are Built to Last

With switches that are engineered for durability and performance, Pressure Controls Inc. is a leader in the flow switch market! Our flow switches can be found in various industries, including medical device manufacturing, utilities and defense applications around the world.

FLOW SWITCHES EXPLAINED

Flow switches are used to monitor and control the flow rate of various media, including steam, liquids and gases. The switch monitors the flow rate of your application and can either open or close the circuit once it reaches the switch's set-point. This action can then trigger a separate event such as turning a pump on or off or sounding an alarm.

SWITCH CAPABILTIES THAT MATCH YOUR NEEDS

Not sure if PCI has a flow switch that's suitable for your application?
