Product catalog summary
Overview
The document provides detailed information about the M-80 Series non-adjustable flow switches by Malema Flow Sensors. These switches are designed for direct installation in pipework and are used to detect flow rates of gases or liquids with high reliability and sensitivity.

Specifications
The M-80 Series features a stainless steel construction with fixed flow settings. It operates with a permanent magnet and reed switch mechanism, ensuring minimal impedance to flow. The flow switch is available in 1” BSPP or MNPT and 2” flanged ANSI configurations. The calibration ranges for air are 2.3 to 70.6 scfm and for water are 2.5 to 80 l/min, depending on valve sizes.

Features
  • Wide range of fixed flow settings
  • High reliability and sensitivity
  • Low hysteresis and pressure drop
  • Large port sizes

Applications
  • Process flow monitoring
  • Chemical delivery systems
  • Cooling water flows
  • High volume gas flows
  • Heat exchangers
  • Transformers
  • Brewery process applications

Performance
Set point accuracy is ±10% maximum, with repeatability at ±2% and hysteresis at 10%. The pressure drop is 1 psi.

Installation & Maintenance
The 1” pipe models are best installed vertically, while the 2” flanged models can be installed in any orientation. The maximum operating pressure is 1000 psi, with a burst pressure of 3000 psi. The maximum operating temperature is 185°F (85°C).

Reed Switch Ratings
The reed switch is UL recognized, with switching voltage up to 170 VDC and a maximum switching current of 0.25 A.

Ordering Information
Part numbers are structured as M-Model-Material-Port-Switch-Flow Set Point. The document includes a standard flow set point table for reference.

Non-Adjustable Flow Switches M-80 Series All stainless, fixed setting flow switch with in-line flow Features • Available in a wide range of fixed flow settings • High reliability • Extremely sensitive • Low hysteresis • Low pressure drop • Large port sizes Applications Operation The M-80 is a flow operated switch for fitting directly in the pipe work. The variable area flow sensing element , mounted on the pipe axis, moves at a preset flow rate from its rest position to an open position where it causes minimum impedance to Illustrated is the M-80 the flow. The moving Model with 1” ports. member embodies a permanent magnet, which operates a reed switch, which is mounted transversely in the pipe body in a sealed pocket. Process flow monitoring Chemical delivery systems Cooling water flows High volume gas flows Heat exchangers Transformers Brewery process applications Calibration Range * Air: Water: 2.3 to 70.6 scfm 2.5 to 80 l/min * These calibration ranges are over different valve sizes. Please see “Standard Flow Set Point Table.” Specifications Set Point Accuracy: Repeatability: Hysteresis: Non-Adjustable Flow Switches The M-80 Series flow switches are engineered and field tested for sensing increasing and decreasing flow rates of gases or liquids. Pressure variation effects are minimal. This series features such versatility, economy, and accuracy that they can be used in virtually any application requiring fool-proof inexpensive flow detection.
