Vortex flowmeter 8800 series

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.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

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.

• Efficiency/Durability: Gasket-free body eliminates leak points; isolated sensors allow flow/temperature sensor replacement without breaking process seals.
