Dash Pots

Available on any style PEECO flow switch. Used wherever turbulent flow requires switch action damping to avoid false actuation due to cavitation.

How Dash Pots Work

Dash Pots for PEECO flow switches are used wherever a turbulent flow of liquid requires switch action damping to avoid false actuation due to cavitation. The PEECO Dash Pot allows a delay period of up to 30 seconds before breaking contact and closing circuitry.

Dash Pots dampen the chatter created by extremely high or low gaseous flow. Using high quality pneumatics in conjunction with a low expansion, precision glass cylinder and graphite piston technology.

A dashpot is a mechanical device — a damper which resists motion via viscous friction. The resulting force is proportional to the velocity, but acts in the opposite direction, slowing the motion and absorbing energy.

Up to 30-Second Delay

Adjustable delay period before breaking contact and closing circuitry.

Prevents False Actuation

Eliminates chatter caused by cavitation, turbulent flow, or pulsating pumps.

Precision Pneumatic Design

Instrument quality pneumatic devices with precision glass cylinder and graphite piston technology.

Available on All Models

Compatible with N Series, E Series, and H Series flow switches in all mounting styles.
