Rosemount 8600 vortex flow meter

Emerson Automation Solutions’ Rosemount 8600 vortex flow meter is designed for utility applications. Its application-specific design reduces installation costs, provides good flow measurement and extends vortex technology into a wider range of applications.

The flow meter delivers the benefits of vortex technology by minimising potential leak points and eliminating impulse lines. With no moving parts to repair or maintain, maintenance and downtime are reduced.

For saturated steam applications, a multivariable measurement option provides temperature-compensated mass flow output directly from the meter. Unlike traditional multivariable vortex designs, the flow meter uses an isolated temperature sensor which can be verified or replaced without breaking the process seal. Operator safety is enhanced by limiting personnel exposure to process conditions and throughput is maximised by eliminating the need to shut down the process to maintain the temperature sensor.
