Flow Switch Type 172 For Pipes Type 173 For Pipes: DN 80 DN 40
Tough and unaffected by non-adhesive impurities in the medium the flow switch type 172
controls the flow of gases in pipes ≥ DN 80 regardless of high operating pressures. For units to
control the flow of liquids see type 107.
The flow switch type 173 controls the flow of liquids and gases in pipes DN 40 to DN 100.
The units are mounted by a flanged boss (provided by the installer) either to horizontal pipes or
sideways to vertical pipes with direction of flow upwards only. A special model with balance weight
for direction of flow downwards is available (type 172 only).
The specification required for the flow switch depends upon the nominal bore of the pipe on which
it is mounted and not upon the connecting flange, e. g. flow switch type 172 DN 100 with
connecting flange DN 80 PN 16.
Advantages
• The bearing used make the units suitable for use with media containing dust particles.
• Sensitive control for set points from 0.6 m/s.
• Cavity-free construction
• Suitable for high pressures up to PN 160.
• Explosionproof models available to several standards.
• For high flow velocities or larger line sizes the units are equipped with a stop for the vane.
• Special models available for temperatures up to 250 °C.
• Models available for use in maritime and humid tropical climates.
• Simple installation and connection.
• Long-term continuity of spares availability.

Suitability
Operation
When the medium enters in the direction of flow indicated by the arrow it moves the vane in the
direction of flow. A permanent magnet is situated at the vane and operates the switch contact. The
set point is not adjustable.
