Target Paddle Flow Switch
The Target Paddle Flow Switch monitors and protects liquid flow in pipelines by using a paddle that triggers a built-in microswitch when pushed by the flowing liquid.
Read MoreThe Explosion-Proof Stainless Steel Paddle Flow Switch is a flow monitoring instrument specifically designed for industrial hazardous areas. It features an all-stainless steel construction, including the body, rod, and vane, providing exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. When fluid velocity exceeds the preset value, the vane moves and actuates a microswitch via a mechanical transmission mechanism, outputting an SPDT (NO+NC) signal. Certified with Ex db IIC T6 Gb and IP66 protection, it can handle medium temperatures up to 250 degrees Celsius, making it critical for interlock control and flow-loss protection in chemical, metallurgical, and fire protection systems.
Overview of Explosion-Proof Stainless Steel Paddle Flow Switch

The Explosion-Proof Stainless Steel Paddle Flow Switch is a robust mechanical device designed for safety monitoring in flammable and explosive industrial environments.
What is it? It operates on the paddle (vane) mechanical transmission principle. When fluid flow in the pipe exceeds the preset value, it pushes the stainless steel vane. This movement actuates a microswitch located in the top housing, sending an electrical signal to the control system.
Main Application Field: It is typically used in applications requiring interlock control or flow-loss protection. It is widely used in fire protection systems, the chemical industry, industrial automation, metallurgical equipment, and hydraulic/lubrication systems for both gas and liquid media.
Key Characteristics: Its core features include a full stainless steel construction and high-level explosion-proof safety. It can withstand pressures up to 25 bar and medium temperatures up to 250 degrees Celsius. Furthermore, it features a very low average pressure loss of only 0.08 bar at maximum flow and provides a versatile SPDT signal output.
Features of Explosion-Proof Stainless Steel Paddle Flow Switch
High Explosion-Proof Rating: Certified Ex db IIC T6 Gb, ensuring safe operation in hazardous industrial zones.
Robust Stainless Steel Construction: The body, process connection, rod, and vane are all made of stainless steel for maximum corrosion and pressure resistance (up to 25 bar).
High Temperature Resistance: Capable of monitoring media temperatures up to 250 degrees Celsius, exceeding the capabilities of standard flow switches.
Minimal Pressure Loss: Optimized vane design results in an average pressure loss of only 0.08 bar, minimizing the impact on system performance.
Reliable SPDT Output: Equipped with a Single Pole Double Throw (NO+NC) microswitch for flexible alarm and control logic.
IP66 Protection Rating: Dust-tight and protected against powerful water jets, ensuring reliability in harsh outdoor or wet environments.
Applications of Explosion-Proof Stainless Steel Paddle Flow Switch
This switch is the ideal choice for ensuring safety in critical industrial processes:
Fire Protection: Monitoring water flow in automatic sprinkler or standpipe systems.
Chemical Industry: Monitoring flows of corrosive fluids or gases in explosive zones for pump interlock protection.
Metallurgy: Monitoring cooling water circulation to prevent equipment overheating due to flow loss.
Lubrication Systems: Ensuring continuous oil supply and triggering alarms when flow rates drop.
