Faqs:
What types of fluids can the Rosemount 8600 Series measure?
The Rosemount 8600 Series can accurately measure liquids, gases, and steam, making it ideal for utility systems, energy management, and process control.
How does the vortex shedding principle work in the 8600 Series?
As fluid flows past a bluff body (shedder bar), vortices are shed alternately from each side. The frequency of these vortices is proportional to the flow rate, detected by a piezoelectric sensor and converted into a digital flow reading.
What are the installation requirements for the Rosemount 8600 Series?
The 8600 Series typically requires 10 pipe diameters upstream and 5 diameters downstream. It can be installed horizontally, vertically, or inclined, with remote mounting options up to 23 meters (75 ft) away from the sensor body.
