3.5.2 Flow direction
Mount the meter body so the FORWARD end of the flow arrow, shown on the meter body,
points in the direction of the flow in the pipe.
3.5.3 Gaskets
The Rosemount 8600D requires flange gaskets supplied by the user, and sensor gaskets
supplied with the meter. Be sure to select gasket material that is compatible with the
process fluid and pressure ratings of the specific installation.
Note
Ensure that the inside diameter of the flange gasket is larger than the inside diameter of the
flowmeter and adjacent piping. If gasket material extends into the flow stream, it will
disturb the flow and cause inaccurate measurements.
