FCI FLT Thermal Switch Series

By: FCI - Fluid Components International
12 July, 2011
Highly accurate FLT93S insertion type FlexSwitches for level and temperature monitoring represent the first true technological breakthrough in thermal technology in over a decade. Designed for heavy industrial environments, they feature FCI’s unique temperature compensation to ensure set point accuracy for process temperatures that vary up to ± 100° F.

Level Switch Summary

The FLT93S insertion type FlexSwitch for level and temperature monitoring represents the first true technological breakthrough in thermal technology in over a decade. This product was designed for heavy industrial environments including high temperature and high pressure. FCI is the only thermal manufacturer providing

temperature compensation

to ensure set point accuracy for process temperatures that vary up to ± 100° F. The FLT93S is easily field-configured or factory preset, providing unparalleled flexibility, accuracy and stability for all multiple process sensing and switching requirements.

Applications

  • Interface and sump level detection

  • Interface/level detection in settling vessels

  • Interface/sump level detection in separation vessels

  • Foam or sediment level control

  • Agitation detection

  • Liquid/resin interface detection
