Flow Switches in Oil & Gas Applications

Hazardous-area flow detection for upstream, midstream, and downstream operations.

Why PEECO in Oil & Gas

Oil and gas facilities present the most demanding combination of hazardous atmospheres, extreme pressures, and corrosive media. PEECO's E and H Series explosion-proof flow switches have been specified in refineries, compressor stations, offshore platforms, and pipeline facilities for over 50 years. The solid-rod and flexure-tube design of the H Series was developed specifically for ultra-high-pressure wellhead and injection applications.
