1.3 System description
The Rosemount 8600D Vortex Flowmeter consists of a meter body and transmitter and
measures volumetric flow rate by detecting the vortices created by a fluid passing by the
shedder bar.
The meter body is installed in-line with process piping. A sensor is located at the end of the
shredder bar and creates an alternating sine wave due to the passing vortices. The
transmitter measures the frequency of the sine waves and converts it into a flowrate.
This manual is designed to assist in the installation and operation of the Rosemount 8600D
Vortex Flowmeter.
