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
Tab le A -1 , Tab le A- 2, and Ta ble 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.
