Press Release Summary:
Rosemount MultiVariable(TM) 8800 Vortex Flowmeter features isolated, independent vortex and temperature sensors, enabling sensors to be verified or replaced without breaking process seals. Temperature compensated mass flow output is delivered directly from meter, reducing process variability. Suited for temperature compensated saturated steam applications, device can also be used to output variables independently, allowing users to obtain additional temperature monitoring points.
Original Press Release:
Emerson Introduces Innovative Rosemount® Multivariable(TM) Vortex Flowmeter
New flowmeter lowers total installed cost of temperature compensated measurement points by 25%, and reduces process variability in saturated steam applications
CHANHASSEN, MINN (November 13, 2006) - Emerson Process Management has announced the availability of the Rosemount MultiVariable(TM) 8800 Vortex Flowmeter. Users have traditionally preferred vortex technology in saturated steam applications due to its reliability and wide rangeability. However, users also desire a compensated mass flow output. By incorporating multivariable technology, Emerson can deliver all the benefits of proven Rosemount vortex technology and a temperature compensated mass flow output directly from the meter, reducing process variability.
Traditional multivariable vortex designs integrate the vortex and temperature sensor into the same assembly. This requires process shutdown for verification or replacement and requires extensive spare part inventory. Only the Rosemount MultiVariable Vortex has isolated, independent vortex and temperature sensors, allowing both sensors to be verified or replaced independently without breaking the process seals. This eliminates process shutdown for verification of the temperature sensor.
The Rosemount 8800 MultiVariable Vortex lowers total installed cost of temperature compensated measurement points by 25% over external compensation of a traditional vortex. Cost is reduced by eliminating the need for an external thermowell, temperature sensor and transmitter, and a flow computer or control system compensation program. In addition to temperature compensated saturated steam applications, the device can also be used to output the variables independently, allowing users to obtain additional temperature monitoring points, where it was previously cost prohibitive.
The Rosemount 8800 MultiVariable Vortex Flowmeter is part of Emerson's broad range of intelligent, digital field devices that power the PlantWeb® digital plant architecture to improve plant efficiency by 2% and more through delivering asset optimization, process automation, and management execution. Further cost savings, increased plant availability, and enhanced safety and environmental compliance are achieved when vortex flowmeters are integrated into the PlantWeb architecture.
