Product catalog summary
Models
Two models of flow switches are available: type 1020T and type 1020B.
Use
The type 1020 flow switch is designed for horizontal pipes to indicate inadequate or excess fluid flow. Common applications include triggering alarm systems, switching on security devices, and controlling auxiliary devices. Specific uses include flow monitoring in cooling circuits, pump unit control, and lubrication circuits.
Principle
The flow switch operates with a float that moves vertically inside a calibrated seat. The float's magnetic extension interacts with an electric contact to deliver an alarm signal at a specified flow rate, known as the "flow switching point."
Description
The instrument comprises a cast or welded body with a calibrated seat, a float with a magnet extension, a guide tube with a contact and terminal box, and a terminal box with a cable gland.
Technical Data
  • Flow rates vary by connector size, with standard and optimal switching flows specified for each size.
  • Terminal box options include standard light alloy IP54 and explosion-proof light alloy IP67.
  • Maximum operating pressure ranges from 16 bar for bronze models to 100 bar for stainless steel models, depending on the model.
  • Maximum operating temperature ranges from 80°C to 250°C with a heat screen.
  • Pressure drop is between 200 to 400 mbar at nominal flow.
  • Contact options include a microswitch inverter and a reed type inverter.
  • Materials vary by connection method, with options for bronze, stainless steel, and carbon steel bodies and floats.
Dimensions
Dimensions are provided for both tapped and flanged connections, with specific measurements for each size and material type.
Installation and Maintenance
The flow switch must be installed on a horizontal pipeline with the float as vertical as possible. The liquid should be free of solid particles. No specific maintenance is required other than keeping the unit clean.
Spares
Available spare parts include the contact, float, and cap.

Technical Data Sheet 50466-628 July 2017 Flow Switches Float operated flow switches Series 1020… ● type 1020T ● type 1020B USE The type 1020 flow switch is designed to indicate inadequate or excess fluid flow in a horizontal pipe. It has a numerous possible applications, of which the most common are: triggering alarm systems switching on security devices, starting and stopping auxiliary devices Examples of uses flow monitoring in cooling circuits, the control of pump units, lubrication circuits PRINCIPLE A variable section float with a magnetic extension moves vertically inside a calibrated seat. Its deplacement is proportional to the rate of flow. The magnetic extension of the float acts on a mlagnet linked to an electric contact which delivers an alarm signal. The switch is set for a specified flow rate termed the “flow switching point”. DESCRIPTION This instrument consists of: ɀ A cast or mechanical welded body, inside which is the calibrated seat. The unit is connected either by tapped connectors or flanges ɀ a float fitted with a magnet extension ɀ A guide tube, on which the contact and terminal box are fixed ɀ A terminal box with gland for the electric cable
