Rosemount 8800DD060SA1N1D1K6M5R30Q4Q8 Dual Vortex Flowmeter, 6 Inch

The Rosemount 8800DD060SA1N1D1K6M5R30Q4Q8 is a high-performance dual-sensor vortex flowmeter designed for reliable flow measurement in industrial applications. Manufactured by Rosemount (a division of Emerson), this model features a redundant dual-sensor configuration for enhanced safety and reliability in critical processes, such as those requiring SIL certification. It operates on the vortex shedding principle, providing accurate mass flow, volume flow, and temperature measurements for liquids, gases, and steam. Key applications include chemical processing, oil and gas, power generation, and water treatment, where it excels in harsh environments due to its robust 316L stainless steel construction and explosion-proof certifications. Benefits include superior accuracy (±0.65% for liquids, ±1% for gases), wide turndown ratio (up to 38:1), and integrated multivariable capabilities with temperature compensation via the R30 option. The dual-head design minimizes downtime by allowing continued operation if one sensor fails, offering an advantage over single-sensor models like the standard 8800D series. Drawbacks may include higher initial cost and complexity in installation compared to basic flowmeters. This unit features Class 150 ANSI flanges, HART communication, and a local LCD display for easy monitoring. Overall, it provides long-term reliability with low maintenance, making it ideal for demanding flow measurement tasks.
