Description
1. Product Overview
The Rosemount 8800 Series Vortex Flow Meter is a highly reliable, multi-variable flow measurement device designed for precise measurement of liquids, gases, and steam in demanding industrial environments. Its primary use spans oil & gas, chemical processing, power generation, and refining operations where accurate mass flow measurement of superheated or saturated steam is critical. The key value proposition is its gasket-free, non-clog meter body that eliminates leak points, delivering world-class process availability with fewer unscheduled shutdowns. Strategically, this product is essential for industries requiring pressure- and temperature-compensated mass flow measurement with unparalleled accuracy in challenging superheated steam applications where other technologies fail.

3. Core Industrial Applications
-
Primary Industries: Oil & gas, refining, chemical/petrochemical, power generation, food & beverage, district energy systems
-
Specific Use Cases:
-
Superheated steam measurement for industrial plants
-
Saturated steam mass flow for pressure-compensated applications
-
Steam injection processes
-
Liquids and gas flow measurement in process lines
-
-
Performance Advantage: Unlike alternatives, the 8800 MultiVariable paired with a HART pressure transmitter delivers unparalleled accuracy for pressure-compensated mass flow in saturated steam and temperature+pressure-compensated flow in superheated steam.
-
