A.1 Specifications
The following specifications are for the Rosemount 8600D
except where noted.
A.2 Functional specifications
Process fluids
Liquid, gas, and steam applications. Fluids must be
homogeneous and single-phase.
Line sizes
Flanged style
1, 1
1
/2, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 8 inches
(DN 25, 40, 50, 80, 100, 150, and 200)
Pipe schedules
Process piping Schedules 10, 40, 80, and 160.
Note
The appropriate bore diameter of the process piping
must be entered using the Field Communicator or
AMS Device Manager. Meters will be shipped from
the factory at the Schedule 40 default value unless
otherwise specified.
Measurable flow rates
Capable of processing signals from flow applications which
meet the sizing requirements below.
To determine the appropriate flowmeter size for an
application, process conditions must be within the
Reynolds number and velocity limitations for the desired
line size provided in Table A-1, Table A-2, and Table A-3.
Note
Consult your local sales representative to obtain a
computer sizing program that describes in greater
detail how to specify the correct flowmeter size for an
application.
The Reynolds number equation shown below combines the
effects of density (r), viscosity (m
cp
), pipe inside diameter
(D), and flow velocity (V).
