Electronic flow switches offer clever features. Mechanical switches offer simplicity. For many oil and gas protection duties, simple wins.

A mechanically actuated switch with a robust electrical contact has fewer things to go wrong, and suits cooling water and firewater alarm duties well. The Ajax range from F. Bamford is built on that principle, with ATEX flameproof versions for hazardous areas. If you need continuous measurement, look at transducers instead. The team will help you decide.
