A flowmeter for increased plant availability and enhanced safety

| By Chemical Engineering

The Rosemount 8800D CriticalProcess Vortex flowmeter enhances online vortex-sensor maintainability, while providing an added level of safety on critical applications. The unit’s vortex sensor is isolated from the process, making it possible to maintain the sensor without requiring a process shutdown, greatly increasing process availability, says the manufacturer. Isolation of the sensor from the process also enhances safety by limiting personnel exposure. The device can also verify the health of the transmitter by simulating the vortex flow signal, enabling complete verification of the electrical components of the flowmeter while the process is running. — Emerson Process Management, Baar, Switzerland
