F10 & F50 Flow Switches
DESCRIPTION
Magnetrol ® flow switches are highly reliable devices utilized to sense the start or stop of flow in horizontal pipelines containing oil and petroleum derivatives, chemicals, water, or air. Vane-actuated Model F10 switches are used on gas or liquid flow applications in 2" or larger line sizes. Disc actuated Model F50 switches are in-line type used for sensing clean liquids in 2" or smaller line sizes.
FEATURES
• Actuation on increasing or decreasing flow • Special sensing elements for non-standard or high flow applications • Designed for horizontal pipe applications • Available switch styles include dry contact, hermetically sealed and pneumatic Model F10
Model F10 Model F50
APPLICATIONS
• Pump staging or failure • Pipeline flow detection • Valve failure
• Field adjustable • Low pressure drop • Process pressures to 1000 psig (69 bar) • Process temperatures to +450° F (+232° C) • Standard flow vanes for 2" thru 10" flow lines • Loss of pipeline flow Model F50 • Pipe blockage/rupture • No calibration required • Bronze or stainless steel construction • Process pressures to 1150 psig (79.2 bar) • Process temperatures to +750° F (+399° C) • Alarm on eyewash or shower safety station • Bodies for flow lines from 3⁄4" to 2" • Pump inlet flow protection • Check valve blockage/leakage
TECHNOLOGY
Model F10 above the attraction sleeve. Turning the adjusting screw clockwise increases the flow rate at which the switch actuates. Adjustments can be made while the flow switch is in service. Flow through the horizontal pipeline causes the pivoted vane assembly to swing in the direction of the flow. The vane assembly lifts an attraction sleeve which in turn causes the magnet to pull in and actuate the switch. The O-ring sealed adjusting screw in the top of the enclosing tube compresses the range spring located

F50 field of the permanent magnet, located outside the enclosing tube, actuating the attached switch mechanism. When the flow rate drops below the rate for which the flow disc is calibrated, a reversal of this action occurs.
The rate of flow through the valve body raises or lowers the disc. This in turn raises or lowers the magnetic sleeve within its sealed non-magnetic enclosing tube. On an increasing flow rate, the magnetic sleeve rises into the

CORRECTION
Model F10 Example: The maximum adjustment for an increasing flow rate on a Model F10 with a liquid specific gravity of .70 in an 8" line is: 230 GPM x 1.20 = 276 GPM. Model F50 Example: The actuation flow rate of a liquid with specific gravity of 1.10 on increasing flow for a Model F50 with a 1" body and an “E” size disc is: 5.5 GPM x 0.95 = 5.2 GPM.

To determine the actuating flow rates for liquids other than water (approximate viscosity of 20 centistokes or less), a specific gravity correction factor must be applied to the water flow rates given in the table. For gas/air applications, consult factory.
