Industrial Flow Measurement Devices from McIntosh Controls
Flow Switches
We distribute a variety of Gems flow switches for liquids and gases, with various flow settings, switch types, sensor types, port sizes, and body materials. A pre-determined action is triggered when these switches detect the presence or absence of a specified fluid flow rate. Additionally, these flow switches help ensure proper lubrication and protect your equipment from leaks, pressure, or overall system failure. We offer Gems flow switches with paddle, piston, rotor, and shuttle sensor types to meet a range of needs.Flow Sensors
Flow sensors are used to help monitor flow of liquid or gas in different applications. Additionally, there are backflow sensors for detecting and preventing contaminated fluid into systems and disruption of flows. These sensors constantly evaluate flow and provide quick and accurate readings. We supply Mid-West back flow test kits with 3 or 5 valves for the testing and service of backflow units. Additionally, we do in house repairs and calibration of these units.Flow Meters
While flow switches and sensors are used to detect flow rate or backflow, flow meters are critical for measuring the amount of fluid in a system. They provide ongoing, detailed, and accurate readings of flow measurements for a variety of reasons: process control, billing purposes, safety compliance, and more.Flow Accessories
We supply various flow monitoring accessories and repair parts for flow switches, sensors, and meters. These include Gems/Warrick faceplate replacement kits, repair kits, and bonnet assemblies. Contact us for more information.Backflow Calibration Services
We provide calibration and repair services for Mid-West, Zurn, Wilkins, Watts and other similar model units including TK9A. For Backflow calibration services, please call 973-433-4700 to schedule and find out how to send your unit in for calibration or to schedule a drop-off.Industrial Applications and Uses of Flow Monitoring Devices
Flow monitoring devices are used in a variety of industries, including:- Chemical and petrochemical processing: Provides safety shutoff for hazardous chemical flows, protects equipment, and ensures accurate flow measurements for blending, batching, and safety interlocks.
- Energy and power generation: Used in turbines, generators, and boilers to monitor flow and provide real-time measurements.
- Industrial manufacturing: Assists in protecting manufacturing equipment by detecting low coolant or pressure levels and aids in quality assurance during production.
- Water and wastewater treatment: Used to monitor flow rates for filtration or distribution systems and to ensure proper flow rates for water quality compliance.
