Description
A flow switch with CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride) connections is a component used in various fluid handling systems, including fire protection systems, HVAC systems, and industrial processes.
- Function: A flow switch is a device designed to detect the presence or absence of fluid flow in a pipe or conduit. It is often used to activate alarms, shut down equipment, or start other devices based on the flow conditions.
- Types: Flow switches can be mechanical (with a paddle or vane), electronic (using sensors), or thermal (measuring temperature changes due to flow)
- Material: CPVC is a type of plastic pipe that is resistant to high temperatures and corrosive chemicals. It’s commonly used in systems where these properties are advantageous.
- Connection Type: CPVC connections involve fittings and valves made from CPVC material. These connections are glued together with solvent cement, creating a strong, leak-proof seal.
