Rosemount 8800 Vortex Flow Meter 8800CF060SA1N1P1C6M5Q4Q8 6-inch Flange Stainless Steel

The Rosemount 8800 Vortex Flow Meter is a high-performance instrument designed for accurate and reliable measurement of liquid, gas, and steam flow in industrial processes. Utilizing the vortex shedding principle, it detects vortices generated by a bluff body in the flow stream, providing non-intrusive measurement with no moving parts, which enhances durability and reduces maintenance needs. This specific model, 8800CF060SA1N1P1C6M5Q4Q8, features a 6-inch (150 mm) line size with stainless steel wetted materials, making it ideal for corrosive environments such as chemical processing, oil and gas, and water treatment applications. Key benefits include high accuracy (±0.75% for liquids, ±1% for gases/steam), wide turndown ratio (up to 38:1), and robust construction for high-pressure and high-temperature conditions. It includes an integral transmitter with LCD display for local monitoring, hazardous area certifications (e.g., CSA, ATEX), and options for material traceability and calibration data. Compared to similar products like electromagnetic or ultrasonic meters, the 8800 offers superior vibration resistance and lower installation costs due to its compact design. Drawbacks may include sensitivity to flow profile disturbances, requiring straight pipe runs. Overall, it's a versatile choice for custody transfer, process control, and utility metering, backed by Emerson's reputation for precision instrumentation.
