What output signals does the NK series support?

Thermal Flow Switch with Integrated Temperature Measurement (NK Series)?

Working Principle & Structure?

Based on the thermal principle, the sealed probe contains two resistors: one heated as the sensing resistor and another unheated as the reference resistor. When fluid flows, heat is carried away from the heated resistor, altering its resistance value. The difference between the two resistors serves as the basis for flow velocity judgment. Key features include:

No moving parts, maintenance-free.

Easy installation; one model fits multiple pipe diameters.

Adjustable switch points with minimal pressure loss.

Compact design with color-crystal display for flow trends and switch status.

Integrated temperature measurement supporting alarms and remote monitoring.

Applications?

Compatible with water, oil, and gases (gas-liquid dual-use).

Low-flow alarms.

Suitable for pneumatic/hydraulic systems, cooling water, cutting fluid, and lubrication oil flow monitoring.

Pump dry-run protection.
