Rosemount 8600 Vortex Flow Meter
Mounting position effect
Meter will meet accuracy specifications when mounted in
horizontal, vertical, or inclined pipelines. Best practice for
mounting in a horizontal pipe is to orient the shedder bar in
the horizontal plane. This will prevent solids in liquid
applications and liquid in gas/steam applications from
disrupting the shedding frequency.
EMI/RFI effect
Meets EMC requirements to EU Directive 2004/108/EC.
HART analog
Output error less than ±0.025% of span with twisted
pair from 80-1000 MHz for radiated field strength of 10
V/m; 1.4 - 2.0 GHz for radiated field strength of 3 V/m;
2.0 - 2.7 GHz for radiated field strength of 1 V/m.
Tested per EN61326.
Digital HART
No effect on the values that are being given if using
HART digital signal.
Tested per EN61326.
Magnetic-field interference
HART analog
Output error less than ±0.025% of span at
30 A/m (rms). Tested per EN61326.
Series mode noise rejection
HART analog
Output error less than ±0.025% of span at
1 V rms, 60 Hz.
Common mode noise rejection
HART analog
Output error less than ±0.025% of span at 30 V rms,
60 Hz.
Power supply effect
HART analog
Less than 0.005% of span per volt
A.5 Physical specifications
NACE compliance
Materials of Construction meet NACE material
recommendations per MR0175/ISO15156 for use in H
2
S
containing environments in oil field production. Materials
of construction also meet NACE recommendations per
MR0103-2003 for corrosive petroleum refining
environments. MR0103 compliance requires Q25 option in
model code.
Note
Certificate of compliance for MR0175/ISO15156
requires Q15 as a separate line item.

Mounting
Integral (standard)
Electronics are mounted on meter body.
Remote (optional)
Electronics may be mounted remote from the meter
body. Interconnecting coaxial cable available in
nonadjustable 10, 20, and 30 ft (3,0, 6,1, and 9,1 m)
lengths. Consult factory for non-standard lengths up to
75 ft (22,9 m). Remote mounting hardware includes a
pipe mount bracket with one u-bolt.
Temperature limitations for integral mounting
The maximum process temperature for integral mount
electronics is dependent on the ambient temperature
where the meter is installed. The electronics must not
exceed 185 °F (85 °C).
