Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and application guidelines for the Thermo-Flo AX1X with Compact Flow Controller, designed for chemical injection monitoring and use in corrosive media. It interfaces directly with metering pumps and is suitable for both liquid and gas applications.
Specifications: The flow switch package offers reliable no or low-flow detection for clean, non-coating media. It includes a 16A compact flow controller for pump or process protection. The set-point range for liquids is 0.04 to 3 fps and for gases is 1 to 90 fps. The device operates within a temperature range of 32°F to 140°F (0°C to 60°C) and can withstand pressures up to 150 psi at 25°C.
Design Features: The sensor is available in Polypropylene-Ryton® and PVDF materials, with options for short and long sensors depending on pipe size. The enclosure is rated NEMA 4X with a polypropylene material, ensuring durability in harsh environments. The device includes a fail-safe relay control with a 0-60 second delay and an optional strobe alert for immediate attention to flow alarm conditions.
Applications: The flow switch is ideal for use in metering pump applications where pulsating flow can affect accuracy. The Flowline Pulse Point fitting stabilizes the flow, allowing the Thermo-Flo flow switch to provide accurate readings. It is suitable for use in pipes or ducting from 1/2” to 1 1/2” for short sensors and 2” and up for long sensors.
Installation and Mounting: Proper orientation and insertion depth of the flow switch in the pipe are critical for accurate measurement. The AT1_ series must be in contact with the liquid, while the AG1_ series is for gas applications. Both series feature 3/4" NPT threads for compatibility with various fittings.
Compliance and Safety: The device complies with CE standards and is classified as general purpose. It includes a solid-state sensor that is not damaged by over-ranging flow velocities, ensuring long-term reliability.

AX1X-X6XX-1

® Thermo-Flo™ AX1X with Compact Flow Controller Application Offered in liquid and gas sensor types, the general purpose flow switch package provides reliable no or low-flow detection of relatively clean non-coating media with a 16A compact flow controller for pump or process protection. Liquid examples includes water and sulfuric acid. The optional flash alarm brings attention to low-flow alarm conditions. Available in Polypropylene-Ryton® and PVDF, the short flow sensor is used in pipe or ducting from 1/2” to 1 1/2”, and the long flow sensor is used in 2” and up. The flow switch set point may be adjusted from 0.04 to 3 fps in liquids, or 1 to 90 fps in gases for low-flow control. The flow sensor is best applied in applications with relatively constant temperature. IP 65 Features Key Benefits • Rugged Polypropylene-Ryton® or PVDF sensor for corrosive liquids and gases • Ideal for chemical injection monitoring • Fail-safe relay control of pumps or valves with 0-60 second delay • Interfaces directly to metering pumps • Designed for use in corrosive media • Polypropylene enclosure rated NEMA 4X with swivel base for conduit alignment • Optional strobe brings immediate attention to flow alarm conditions • Invert switch changes relay state from NO to NC without rewiring • Solid state sensor is not damaged by over-ranging flow velocities Compatible Products Thermo-Flo™ Flow Switch Fitting Application FT50 A common problem with metering pumps in flow applications is the characteristic of the output flow. The pulsating flow makes it difficult for flow switches to get an accurate and consistent flow rate. Often flow switches will not work because they are not able to see a reliable flow output. The Flowline Pulse Point fitting is designed to stabilize the pulsing flow for the Thermo-Flo flow switch. The cylindrical chamber creates a mini-vortex that translates to a relatively constant flow. The Thermo-Flo flow switch will be able to read the flow and provide an accurate and low-cost flow switch. The Flowline Pulse Point fitting is ideal for use in metering pump applications. © 2010 Flowline Inc. • 10500 Humbolt Street Los Alamitos, CA 90720 • 562.598.3015 • www.flowline.com • DSTCAX1X REV A
