Quick Start Guide
2.3 High temperature mounting
The maximum temperature for integral electronics is dependent on the ambient
temperature where the flowmeter is installed. The electronics must not exceed
185 °F (85 °C).
Figure 3 shows combinations of ambient and process temperatures needed to
maintain a housing temperature of less than 185 °F (85 °C).
Figure 3. Rosemount 8600D Ambient/Process Temperature Limits
The following orientations are recommended for applications with high process
temperatures.
 Install with electronics head beside or below process pipe.
 Insulation around pipe may be necessary to maintain ambient temperature
below 185 °F (85 °C).
Note
Insulate pipe and meter body only. Do not insulate support tube bracket or transmitter so heat
can be dissipated.
2.4 Steam installations
Avoid installation shown in Figure 4. Such conditions may cause a water-hammer
condition at start-up due to trapped condensation.
