Available Drag Disks
The FSW-50 Series Switches come with three different drag disks. The
drag disks are sized as follows:
DRAG DISK
SIZE
#1 .5" dia.
#2 .83" dia.
#3 1.0" dia.
The following table lists flow adjustment limits for various pipe sizes
relative to Model No. and drag disk size. The moment arm (see Step 3 of
FLOW RANGE) is held constant at the maximum value. Decreasing the
moment arm, increases the adjustment range.
