Question

What is the pressure drop across a V6 Flow switch?

Answer

Pressure drop (head loss) is a function of both set point and flow rate. Typically, pressure drop at actuation flow rate listed will be 5 – 10 PSID (0.34 – 0.69 Bar). Pressure drops at other flow rates will vary in proportion to the change in flow.

Question

Why should a customer be discouraged from buying a V6 without a tee and installing it in his own tees?

Answer

Two reasons: One, the customer will frequently tighten the body in the tee one turn too many, resulting in the vane hitting the tee. This bends the vane and it can jam up even after the switch is backed out one turn to its proper position. Two, there is also a wide variation in tee dimensions between manufacturers which aggravates the problem.
