FAQs of flameproof Flow Switch:
Q: How does the flameproof flow switch ensure safe operation in hazardous environments?
A: The switch uses a flameproof Ex-d IIA & IIB enclosure, meets IS/IEC 60079-1 standards, and is CMRI tested. Its IP65 protection and robust aluminium alloy body prevent ignition of surrounding gases or dust, making it suitable for use in potentially explosive environments.
Q: What is the adjustable switching pressure feature and how does it benefit the user?
A: The adjustable switching pressure allows users to set the specific flow rate at which the switch activates. This flexibility ensures the switch can be tailored to various process requirements, improving control and safety in fluid monitoring applications.
Q: When should I use the threaded versus flanged process connection options?
A: Threaded connections are ideal for smaller or inline installations, while flanged options suit larger pipelines or settings where frequent removal is necessary. The choice depends on your system configuration and maintenance preferences.
Q: Where can this flow switch be installed within an industrial facility?
A: The device is suitable for installation in any zone requiring flameproof equipment, such as chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, or areas with flammable gases. Its robust enclosure and adaptable mounting ensure reliable performance in diverse industrial sectors.
Q: What is the benefit of the optional indicator on this flow switch?
A: The optional indicator provides a clear visual signal of the switch status, enhancing operational monitoring and allowing quick identification of flow conditions without the need for direct inspection of the internal switch components.
Q: How is the durability and lifespan of the flow switch assured?
A: With a mechanical life exceeding 1,000,000 operations, high insulation resistance, and corrosion-resistant epoxy finish, the flow switch is built for lasting durability even under continuous use in harsh industrial environments.
