Rosemount 8600 Vortex Flow Meter
C.3.2 SI units
Example 1 (SI units)
Therefore, an input frequency of 80.00 Hz represents a flow rate of 1694.6 lpm in this
application.
For a given input frequency, you may also determine the current output. Use the above
example with an input frequency of 80.00 Hz:
URV= 2000 lpm LRV= 0 lpm F
in
(Hz) = 80.00
= 17.49 mA
Therefore, an input frequency of 80.00 Hz represents a current output of 17.49 mA.
Fluid = Water URV = 2000 lpm
Line size = 80 mm. LRV = 0 lpm
Line pressure = 700 kPas C
