The Rosemount 8800D Series Vortex flow meter is available in wafer,
flanged, reducer flange, dual sensor, and high pressure designs.
The all-welded non-clog design on the Rosemount 8800D Series Vortex
flow meter eliminates impulse lines, ports and gaskets which
improve reliability. Mass balancing of the sensor system and the
Patented Adaptive Digital Signal Processing (ADSP) provide the
meters vibration immunity.
The unique isolated sensor design on the Rosemount 8800D Series
Vortex flow meter allows sensor replacement without breaking the
process seal. All line sizes use the same sensor design allowing a
single spare to serve every meter. Troubleshooting with the
Rosemount 8800D Series Vortex flow meter is simple through device
diagnostics and enables field verification of the meter electronics
and sensor without shutting down the process.
The Rosemount 8800D Series Vortex flow meters include the Reducer
Vortex. This meter extends the measurable flow range at a reduced
cost. The Reducer eliminates field assembly and welding of separate
reducers and piping which can decrease installation costs by as
much as 50%. By incorporating the Reducer

Vortex the low-end measurable flow range is doubled. The meter is
available as a flanged design from 1 to 12" in stainless steel and
nickel alloy and also features Foundation fieldbus functionality.
The Rosemount 8800D Series Vortex flow meter is available as a dual
sensor meter; it is an ideal solution where redundant flow signals
are required. The Rosemount Dual Vortex meter is constructed of two
complete vortex meters: sensor, electronics and shedder bar. The
Rosemount 8800D meters are welded together and the flow is
calibrated to provide an accurate, single, flow meter with two
independent flow measurements.
The Rosemount 8800D Series Vortex flow meters are available with an
optional MultiVariable output and temperature compensated mass flow
for saturated steam. The MultiVariable vortex design incorporates
the temperature sensor into the meter using the shedder bar as a
thermowell, isolating the vortex and temperature sensor from the
process for easy verification and replacement. The temperature
compensated mass flow is derived from the density calculation from
the measured process temperature. The Rosemount 8800D meter
performance is improved in saturated steam due to the fact that the
electronics will be compensating for changes in the process
temperature.
The Rosemount 8800D Series Vortex flow meters with optional
MultiVariable output can map independent variables to an analog
output, pulse output or HART burst variables. These Rosemount 8800D
meters can also be integrated with a Rosemount Flow computer for
additional functionality that includes:
Remote communications
Heat calculations
Remote totalization
Peak demand calculation
Data logging capabilities
