FCI Series FLT93 FlexSwitch: The Industry Standard for Thermal Dispersion

The FCI FLT93 Series is the most robust solution for simultaneous level, flow, and temperature monitoring in Eastern Canada’s harshest industrial processes. With no moving parts to wear or foul, the FlexSwitch provides a “set-and-forget” reliability that mechanical switches simply cannot match.

Key Applications
  • Pump Protection: Immediate dry-run detection to prevent bearing and seal damage.

  • Interface Control: Precise detection between water/oil or liquid/foam layers.

  • Safety Systems: SIL 2 rated for critical high/low level alarms in chemical and nuclear environments.

  • Drain Line Monitoring: High-sensitivity detection of even the smallest liquid presence.

Technical Superiority

The FLT93 utilizes advanced thermal dispersion technology. By measuring the heat transfer difference between a heated and a reference RTD, it provides a trip-point sensitivity that remains stable regardless of changes in process pressure or density.

Specifications at a Glance:
  • Operating Range: -40°C to 454°C (-40°F to 850°F).

  • High Pressure Integrity: Tested to 3500 psig (240 bar).

  • Materials: Standard 316L Stainless Steel; optional Hastelloy C or Titanium for corrosive media.

  • Dual-Relay Versatility: Two independent 6A SPDT relays, field-configurable for any combination of level, flow, or temperature.

 

Why Choose the FLT93 for Your Facility?
  1. Temperature Compensation: Unlike basic thermal switches, the FLT93 stays accurate even if your process temperature swings by 100°F.

  2. Universal Power: One unit supports 24 Vdc, 115 Vac, or 230 Vac, simplifying your spare parts inventory.

  3. Ruggedized Construction: The all-welded thermal sensing element is designed for decades of service in high-vibration and high-pressure environments.

 

Ordering Options

If you are looking to integrate the FLT93 into your local infrastructure, we recommend these primary configurations:

The FCI FLT93S FlexSwitch is the heavy-duty version designed for high-temperature and high-pressure applications. It is the ideal choice for heavy industrial plants requiring maximum durability and SIL 2 compliance.

For applications requiring a faster response time in lighter liquids or gases, the FCI FLT93F FlexSwitch features a smaller sensing element that reacts quickly to rapid changes in the process media.

Features
  • No Moving Parts: Uses thermal dispersion for zero-wear reliability in liquids, gases, or interfaces.
  • Dual-Alarm Control: Two independent relays, field-configurable for level, flow, or temperature.
  • Temp Compensated: Stays accurate during process temperature swings up to 100°F.
  • Extreme Durability: All-welded sensor handles up to 3500 psig and 454°C.
  • Safety Certified: Designed for critical procédés with SIL 2 compliance and global approvals.
