SYSTEM DESCRIPTION The Rosemount 8800D 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 shedder 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 8800D Vortex Flowmeter.
This product is intended to be used as a flowmeter for liquid, gas, or steam applications.
Any use other than for which it was intended may result in serious injury or death.
