ABSTRACT:
A fluid flow indicator including a magnetic switch mounted adjacent a fluid carrying conduit. A magnetic plunger is loosely contained by the conduit and is urged to the proximity of the switch by fluid flow through the conduit thereby activating the switch. The magnetic plunger is restricted to movement within the monitoring conduit by rods transverse to the fluid flow, one located at the inlet and the other located at the outlet of the monitoring conduit, and having their termini operatively received and retained in annular channels formed in the walls of the monitoring conduit. A process for fabricating a fluid flow indicator as claimed herein is also taught.
