Oil and Mining Industry

In the oil and mining industries, equipment is frequently exposed to extreme pressures, temperatures, and abrasive materials. Flow switches and flow sensors play a critical role in maintaining operational safety and efficiency by monitoring the movement of liquids and gases. Thomas Products' flow switches are engineered to withstand these harsh environments, ensuring accurate flow detection, early fault identification, and seamless system performance—even under demanding industrial conditions.

Description

Flow switches have long been an essential component in heavy-duty industrial systems, particularly in sectors such as oil and gas, mining, and chemical processing. At Thomas Products, we specialize in designing and manufacturing highly durable flow sensors and level switches that perform reliably in the harshest environments. Our flow switches are crafted using premium-grade materials like stainless steel to resist corrosion, extreme temperatures, and chemical exposure, making them ideal for equipment used in corrosive and high-pressure settings.

In the mining industry, where compressors often run at full capacity for extended periods, real-time flow monitoring is critical to prevent system failures. Thomas Products’ flow switch technology ensures dependable performance and early detection of flow disruptions, keeping operations efficient and safe. Our paddle flow switches, thermal flow switches, and inline flow switches are particularly favored for their responsiveness and rugged construction.

Our large flow sensors have undergone and passed stringent Department of Defense shock and vibration testing, ensuring they can withstand the most extreme operational conditions. These sensors are commonly used in gas switching and metering applications, where precision and durability are non-negotiable.

Beyond flow detection, Thomas Products also offers a comprehensive range of liquid level sensors and float switches engineered for accurate fluid level monitoring. Whether it’s a mechanical float switch, magnetic float level switch, or ultrasonic level switch, our products are suitable for diverse applications including water tanks, fuel storage, HVAC systems, and industrial processing units.

Application

Beyond flow detection, Thomas Products also offers a comprehensive range of liquid level sensors and float switches engineered for accurate fluid level monitoring. Whether it’s a mechanical float switch, magnetic float level switch, or ultrasonic level switch, our products are suitable for diverse applications including water tanks, fuel storage, HVAC systems, and industrial processing units.

For customers needing a water level indicator for water tanks, float switch for pump, or water level sensor switch, Thomas Products provides custom and off-the-shelf solutions that integrate seamlessly into existing systems. Our water level float switches, liquid level indicators for tanks, and non-contact level sensors are trusted across industries for their precision and longevity.

No matter the application—be it an oil flow switch in a petroleum plant, a liquid level control system in a food-grade facility, or a flow sensor switch in a water purification plant—Thomas Products delivers quality and reliability. With options ranging from high-temperature flow switches to miniature float switches and magnetic level switches, we support industries that demand the very best in fluid level sensing and flow monitoring.

Pump Protection

In oil and mining operations, pumps must run with proper fluid flow to avoid damage. Flow switches from Thomas Products help prevent dry running by detecting low or no-flow conditions, ensuring safe and efficient pump operation. This protects equipment, reduces downtime, and extends system lifespan.

Hydraulic Systems

Hydraulic machinery depends on steady fluid movement to function safely. Flow sensors and flow switches monitor hydraulic fluid levels and pressure, alerting operators to leaks or blockages. Thomas Products' durable solutions ensure reliable performance in the toughest industrial environments.
