METER BODY
INSTALLATION TASKS
The installation tasks include detailed mechanical and electrical
installation procedures.
Handling Handle all parts carefully to prevent damage. Whenever possible, transport
the system to the installation site in the original shipping containers. Keep the
shipping plugs in the conduit connections until you are ready to connect and
seal them.
NOTE
Do not lift the flowmeter by the transmitter. Lift the meter by the meter body.
Lifting supports can be tied around the meter body as illustrated below if
necessary.
Flow Direction Mount the meter body so the FORWARD end of the flow arrow, shown on the
meter body, points in the direction of the flow in the pipe.
Gaskets The Rosemount 8800D requires gaskets supplied by the user. Be sure to
select gasket material that is compatible with the process fluid and pressure
ratings of the specific installation.
NOTE
Ensure that the inside diameter of the gasket is larger than the inside
diameter of the flowmeter and adjacent piping. If gasket material extends into
the flow stream, it will disturb the flow and cause inaccurate measurements.
Flange Bolts Install the Rosemount 8800D Flowmeter between two conventional pipe
flanges, as shown in Figure 2-7 on page 2-11 and Figure 2-8 on page 2-11.
Table 2-3, 2-4, and 2-5 lists the recommended minimum stud bolt lengths for
wafer-style meter body size and different flange ratings.
