Rosemount 8600 Vortex Flow Meter
Mating pipe I.D.
The inside diameter of the pipe adjacent to the flow meter can cause entrance effects that
may alter flowmeter readings. The exact inside diameter of the pipe must be specified to
correct for these effects. Enter the appropriate value for this variable.
Mating Pipe ID values for schedule 10, 40, 80, and 160 piping are given in Table 2-1 on
page 16. If the piping in your application is not one of these, you may need to contact the
manufacturer for exact Pipe ID.
Flange type
Enables you to specify the type of flange on the flowmeter for later reference. This variable
is preset at the factory but can be changed if necessary.
 ANSI 150
 ANSI 300
 PN16
 PN40
 Spcl
Wetted material
A factory-set configuration variable that reflects the construction of your flowmeter.
 316 SST
 Spcl
Meter body number
A factory-set configuration variable that stores the body number of your particular
flowmeter and the type of construction. The meter body number is found to the right of the
body number on the meter body tag, which is attached to the bracket of the meter body.
The format of this variable is a number followed by an alpha character. The number
designates the body number.
Installation effect
Enables you to compensate the flowmeter for installation effects caused by less than ideal
straight run piping. See reference graphs located in Technical Data Sheet
00816-0100-3250 for the percent of K-factor shift based on entrance effects of upstream
disturbances. This value is entered as a percentage of the range of -1.5% to +1.5%.
