The Rosemount 8800 Reducer Vortex Flow Meter from Emerson is specifically designed to address the challenges of measuring low flow rates in small or large pipelines. Traditional vortex meters often lose accuracy at low velocity, but the integrated reducer design of the 8800 series accelerates the flow to remain within the optimal measurement range of the sensor.
Ideal for energy balancing, utility monitoring, and low-demand process lines, this meter preserves the reliability and zero-maintenance benefits of the standard 8800 vortex meter while extending its performance envelope.
