Meter takes on viscous flows
The DS08 flow meter/switch is specifically designed to monitor and measure the flow of viscous fluids like lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids and transformer oils.
The DS08 flow meter/switch is specifically designed to monitor and measure the flow of viscous fluids like lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids, transformer oils, and other fluids with viscosities up to 600 cSt Available from Instruments Direct, DS08 flow meter/switches feature small mounting dimensions, brass or stainless-steel connections, high switching accuracy, and universal mounting position

Recorders slip in to compact applications
The best-selling SL and SK 4 range of recorders has been improved with a new enclosure 40% smaller than the old version.
Rated for flow rates of 30-90 litre/min, DS08 flow meter/switches work according to modified variable area principle where a float is guided in a cylindrical measuring tube by means of a spring.
The flowing medium moves the float in the flow direction.
An externally mounted pointer indicator magnetically coupled to the float position, indicating the flow rate on a scale.
The DS08 flow meter/switch also incorporates a reed contact 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 up ward until it reached a built in float stop keeping the switch closed and ensuring a bistable switch function at any time.
