2.3Considerations
2.3.1Limitations
Structural
Structural limitations are printed on the sensor tag. Exceeding structural limitations may cause
sensor failure.
Functional
The most accurate and repeatable flow measurement occurs in the following conditions:
The structural limit differential pressure, as printed on the sensor tag, is not exceeded.
The instrument is not used for two-phase flow or for steam service below saturation
temperature.
Install the flowmeter in the correct location within the piping branch to prevent
measurement inaccuracies caused by flow disturbances.
The flowmeter can be installed with a maximum misalignment of 3 degrees (see Figure
2-1). Misalignment beyond 3 degrees will cause flow measurement errors.
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4809, Rev DA

Installation
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4809, Rev DA
Process flange orientation
Orient the process flanges on a remote mounted flowmeter so that process connections can be
made. For safety reasons, orient the drain/vent valves so that process fluid is directed away from
technicians when the valves are used. In addition, consider the possible need for a testing or
calibration input.
Housing rotation
The electronics housing may be rotated up to 180 degrees (left or right) to improve field access
to the two compartments or to better view the optional LCD meter. To rotate the housing,
release the housing rotation set screw and turn the housing up to 180 degrees.
Electronics housing
Terminal side
The circuit compartment should not routinely need to be opened when the unit is in service.
Wiring connections are made through the conduit openings on the top or side of the housing.
The field terminal side is marked on the electronics housing. Mount the flowmeter so that the
terminal side is accessible. A 0.75-in. (19 mm) clearance is required for cover removal. Use a
conduit plug on the unused side of the conduit opening. A 3-in. (76 mm) clearance is required
for cover removal if a meter is installed.

2.5.4Instrument manifolds
Figure 2-5 on page 10 identifies the valves on a 5-valve and a 3-valve manifold. Table 2-1 on
page 10 explains the purpose of these valves.
An instrument manifold is recommended for all installations. A manifold allows an operator to
equalize the pressures prior to the zero calibration of the transmitter as well as to isolate the
electronics from the rest of the system without disconnecting the impulse piping. Although a
3-valve manifold can be used, a 5-valve manifold is recommended.
5-valve manifolds provide a positive method of indicating a partially closed or faulty equalizer
valve. A closed faulty equalizer valve will block the DP signal and create errors that may not be
detectable otherwise. The labels for each valve will be used to identify the proper valve in the
procedures to follow.

Some recently-designed instrument manifolds have a single valve actuator, but cannot perform
all of the functions available on standard 5-valve units. Check with the manufacturer to verify
the functions that a particular manifold can perform. In place of a manifold, individual valves
may be arranged to provide the necessary isolation and equalization functions.

2.5.6Flowmeter orientation
Liquid
Due to the possibility of air getting trapped in the Annubar sensor, it should be located
according to Figure 2-7 for liquid applications. It should be mounted between 15° to 45° from
vertical down to ensure that air is vented from the Annubar sensor, and that sediment or solid
particles are not collected within the Annubar sensor.
For liquid applications, mount the side drain/vent valve upward to allow the gases to vent. In
vertical lines, the Annubar sensor can be installed in any position around the circumference of
the pipe, provided the vents are positioned properly for bleeding or venting. Vertical pipe
installations require more frequent bleeding or venting, depending on the location.
For a remote mounted transmitter, mount the transmitter below the process piping, adjust 10°
to 15° above direct vertical down. Route the impulse piping down to the transmitter and fill the
system with cool water through the two cross fittings.

Gas
Figure 2-8 illustrates the recommended location of the flowmeter in gas applications. The
sensor should be located on the upper half of the pipe, at least 45° above the horizontal line.
For gas applications, mount the drain/vent valve downward to allow liquid to drain. In vertical
lines, the Annubar sensor can be installed in any position around the circumference of the pipe,
provided the vents are positioned properly for bleeding or venting. Vertical pipe installations
require more frequent bleeding or venting, depending on the location.
For a remote mounted transmitter, secure the transmitter above the Annubar sensor to prevent
condensible liquids from collecting in the impulse piping and the DP cell.

Steam
In steam applications, fill the lines with water to prevent the steam from contacting the
transmitter. Condensate chambers are not required because the volumetric displacement of the
transmitter is negligible.
For a remote mounted transmitter, mount the transmitter below the process piping, adjust to
10° to 15° above direct vertical down. Route the impulse piping down to the transmitter and fill
the system with cool water through the two cross fittings.
Top mounting for steam applications is an appropriate mounting option in many cases. Consult
Rosemount Customer Central for instructions regarding steam on top mounting.

Note
For wet steam, do not mount the flowmeter at the direct vertical position. Mounting at an angle
will avoid measurement inaccuracy due to water running along the bottom of the pipe.
2.5.7Remote mounted transmitter
Instrument head connections differ between horizontal and vertical pipes. For horizontal lines,
the instrument connections are parallel to the pipe and for vertical lines, the instrument
connection are perpendicular.
Valves and fittings
Throughout the remote mounting process:
Use only valves, fittings, and pipe thread sealant compounds that are rated for the
service pipeline design pressure and temperature as specified in Appendix A:
Specifications and Reference Data.
Verify that all connections are tight and that all instrument valves are fully closed.
Verify that the Annubar sensor is properly oriented for the intended type of service:
liquid, gas, or steam (see “Flowmeter orientation” on page 14).
Impulse piping
Impulse piping connects a remote mounted transmitter to the Annubar sensor. Temperatures in
excess of 250 °F (121 °C) at the transmitter will damage electronic components; impulse piping
allows service flow temperatures to decrease to a point where the transmitter is no longer
vulnerable.

and heat tracing to prevent freezing.
For installations where the transmitter is more than 6-ft. (1.8m) from the Annubar
sensor, the high and low impulse piping must be run together to maintain equal
temperature. They must be supported to prevent sagging and vibration.
Threaded pipe fittings are not recommended because they create voids where air can
become entrapped and have more possibilities for leakage.
Run impulse piping in protected areas or against walls or ceilings. If the impulse piping
is run across the floor, ensure that it is protected with coverings or kick plates. Do not
locate the impulse piping near high temperature piping or equipment.
Use an appropriate pipe sealing compound rated for the service temperature on all
threaded connections. When making threaded connections between stainless steel
fittings, Loctite

5.If opposite-side support coupling is supplied, a second identically sized hole must be
drilled opposite the first hole so that the sensor can pass completely through the pipe.
(To determine an opposite-side support model, measure the distance from the tip of
the first slot or hole. If the distance is greater than 1-in. (25.4 mm), it is the
opposite-side model.) To drill the second hole, follow these steps:
a.Measure the pipe circumference with a pipe tape, soft wire, or string (for the most
accurate measurement the pipe tape needs to be perpendicular to the axis of flow).
b. Divide the measured circumference by two to determine the location of the second
hole.
c.Re-wrap the pipe tape, soft wire, or string from the center of the first hole. Then, using
the number calculated in the preceding step, mark the center of what will become the
second hole.
d. Using the diameter determined from Tab l e 2 - 3, drill the hole into the pipe with a hole
saw or drill. Do not torch cut the hole.
6.Deburr the drilled hole(s) on the inside of the pipe.
1.Center the Pak-Lok body over the mounting hole, gap 1/16-in. (1.5 mm) and place four
1
/4-in. (6 mm) tack welds at 90° increments.
2.Check alignment of the Pak-Lok body both parallel and perpendicular to the axis of
flow. If alignment of mounting is within tolerances (see Figure 2-15), finish weld per
local codes. If alignment is outside of specified tolerance, make adjustments prior to
finish weld.

welds at 90° increments. Insert the sensor into the mounting hardware. Verify that the
tip of the bar is centered in the opposite side fitting and verify that the plug will fit
around bar. If the bar is centered in the fitting and plug fits around the bar, finish weld
per local codes. If the alignment of the bar does not allow enough clearance to insert
the opposite side plug, make the necessary adjustments prior to making the finish
weld.

4.To avoid serious burns, allow the mounting hardware to cool before continuing.
Step 4: Insert Annubar sensor
After the mounting hardware has cooled, use the following steps for installation.
1.Thread studs into the Pak-Lok body.
2.To ensure the flowmeter contacts the opposite side wall, mark the tip of the sensor with
a marker. (Do not mark if the sensor was ordered with special-cleaned option code P2 or
PA. )
3.Insert the flowmeter into the Pak-lok body until the sensor tip contacts the pipe wall (or
support plug). Rotate the flowmeter back and forth.
4.Remove the flowmeter.

can pass completely through the pipe. To drill the second hole, follow these steps:
a. Measure the pipe circumference with a pipe tape, soft wire, or string. (For the most
accurate measurement the pipe tape needs to be perpendicular to the axis of flow.)
b. Divide the measured circumference by two to determine the location of the second
hole.
c. Re-wrap the pipe tape, soft wire, or string from the center of the first hole. Then,
using the number calculated in the preceding step, mark the center of what will
become the second hole.
d. Using the diameter determined in Step 3, drill the hole into the pipe with a hole saw
or drill. Do not torch cut the hole.
An alignment bar is needed during the welding of the heavy wall weldolets to the steam
pipeline. The alignment bar can be ordered from Emerson
™
Process Management.
1.Weld the heavy wall weldolet to the packing gland assembly with a full
penetration-groove weld.
a. Place the alignment bar through the packing gland and the weldolet. The weldolet
will also have a bearing sleeve in it and it should be near the radius end of the
weldolet which will be the end welded to the pipe. Ensure the support plate is
attached to the packing gland before making the weld.
b. Tack weld the weldolet to the packing gland. Remove the alignment bar.
c. Weld the first pass. Recheck alignment with the alignment bar. Adjust alignment as
necessary. Do not allow the alignment bar to get too hot, as it will be difficult to
remove. Use it only briefly to check alignment between weld passes.
d. Complete remaining weld passes, using alignment bar to verify alignment several
times during the process. Emerson Process Management recommends the weld
thickness is equal to the base metal thickness.
2.Weld the weldolet and packing gland assembly to the pipe.
a. Place alignment bar back into the pipe, slide the weldolet and packing gland
assembly down the alignment bar, and let it rest on the pipe.
b. Ensure the 1
1
/8-in. (29 mm) holes in the support plate are perpendicular to the pipe
centerline within ± 3° for horizontal lines and parallel to the pipe centerline within ±
3° for vertical lines. This will ensure the impact and static holes will be in line with
the flow stream. See Figure 2-5 on page 10.
c. Tack weld the weldolet to the pipe. Check alignment. Remove the alignment bar
and weld the first pass. Emerson Process Management recommends using TIG
welding for the first two passes as a minimum. Experience has shown that welding

about
/2 to 2/3 of the weld using GTAW (TIG) and then using other weld processes

Note
It is very helpful to have two welders welding the assemblies to pipe, with one welder starting
180° from the other. This helps prevent movement of the fittings during the temperature
changes associated with welding.

The fillet welds will be approximately 1
/8-in. (29 mm).
a. Slide the alignment bar through mounting and hole in top side of pipe and place the
opposite-side support weldolet over the end of the alignment bar.
b. Visually center the opposite-side weldolet over the hole. Tack weld the weldolet,
using tack bars or an equivalent method.
c. Weld the first pass and check alignment using the alignment bar and continue
welding. Check alignment frequently during welding. Adjust weldolet as you are
making tacks to keep aligned. Do not leave alignment bar in too long as it will heat
up and make it very difficult to remove.
d. When welding is complete, the alignment bar should slide freely through the
packing into the opposite-side weldolet.
e. Weld opposite end cap to weldolet using a full penetration groove weld.
4.Perform required heat treatment.
5.Reinstall 585 Main Steam Annubar sensor after heat treating and ensure the flow arrow
is pointing in the direction of flow.
Step 4: Insert the Annubar sensor
1.Place the packing into the packing gland with the two split rings (Garlock style
1303FEP) on the outside and the three Garlock Carbon/Graphite solid die-formed rings
on the inside. Make sure the splits in the outer packing are 180° apart.
Note
The packing gland and support plate will be shipped fully assembled.
2.Slide the 585 Annubar sensor through the packing and install the locking rods, nuts,
and lock washers. The dimension between the plates should be 11.0-in. (279 mm). See
Figure 2-38 on page 58. If there is visual access to the inside of the pipe, ensure that the
sensing holes are equally spaced from the inner diameter of the pipe.
3.Make the small adjustment (if necessary), then lock the 585 in place with the locking
rods, nuts, and lock washers. When installed, the 585 will have a dimension of 29.6-in.
(752 mm) from pipe OD to top of head.
4.The last thing to be done is to tighten the packing gland nuts to 25 to 30 ft-lbs. (34 to
41 N-m). See Figure 2-36.

a. Impulse piping must be non-insulated to reduce fluid temperature.
b. Any threaded connections should be checked after the system reaches the intended
temperature because connections may come loose with contraction and expansion
caused by temperature change.
Outdoor installations may require insulation and heat tracing to prevent freezing.
When impulse piping is longer than 6-f t. (1.8 m) the high and low impulse lines must be
positioned together to maintain equal temperature. They must be supported to
prevent sagging and vibration.
Impulse lines should be positioned in protected areas or against walls or ceilings. Use
appropriate pipe sealing compound rated for the service temperature on all threaded
connections. Do not place the impulse piping near high temperature piping or
equipment.
a. An instrument manifold is recommended for all installations. Manifolds allow an
operator to equalize the pressures prior to zeroing and isolates the process fluid
from the transmitter.
b. Use only valves and fittings rated for the design pressure and temperature (in some
cases the primary instrument valve may be supplied by Emerson Process
Management with the Annubar sensor).
c. Use a pipe thread sealant compound that is rated for use at the service temperature
and pressure for all valves and fittings.
d. Verify that all connections are tight and that all instrument valves are fully closed.
e. Verify that the sensor probe is properly oriented as per the submitted outline

output is outside of this range, perform a zero trim procedure as described in
transmitter manual (see Table 3-1 for transmitter manual document numbers).
“Calibrate out” line pressure effects
For applications with static pressures of 100 psi (6.9 bar) and higher, the DP sensor should be
zeroed for line pressure effects. The “zero” calibration procedure is affected by static pressure
and ambient temperature, but these effects can be minimized by zeroing the DP sensor at
normal operating conditions.
The effect of static pressure is calibrated out by exposing the transmitter to the line pressure
and performing a “zero” or wet calibration, as described below.
Although the line pressure effects are relatively small, they significantly affect the accuracy of
the Annubar sensor when used with low flows.

Check for system leaks
Check the system for leaks after installation is complete. A leak in a differential pressure
instrument system can produce a difference in pressure that is larger than the signal itself.
Before the system is filled and/or commissioned, it is a simple matter to use compressed air or
another inert, compressed gas to check for leaks. The gas pressure must be below the maximum
allowed, but at least equal to the normal operating pressure in order to reveal potential leaks. A
typical pressure used is 100 psig (690 kPa).
Before pressurizing the system, check for leaks by doing the following:
1.Open equalizer valve(s) MEH, MEL, or ME to prevent over-pressuring the DP sensor on

For applications 100 psi and higher, the DP sensor should be zeroed for line pressure effects.
The “zero” calibration procedure is affected by static pressure and ambient temperature, but
these effects can be minimized by zeroing the DP sensor at normal operating conditions.
The effect of static pressure is calibrated out by exposing the transmitter to the line pressure
and performing a “zero” or wet calibration, as described below.
Although the line pressure effects are relatively small, they significantly affect the accuracy of
the Annubar sensor when used with low flows.
Commissioning
Periodic “zero” calibration and/or commissioning is recommended to maintain the accuracy of
Annubar sensor. The frequency of this type of maintenance should be established for each
individual application.

4.2.2Electrical RTD check procedure
If the RTD is not functioning properly, perform the following checks to determine if the RTD is
failed. Figure 4-3 shows the schematic of a 4-wire RTD.
Continuity check
1.Using an Ohm meter or a Multimeter, check the resistance between each of the red and
white wires.
2.If the resistance measured represents the proper temperature, proceed to the
Grounding Check.
3.If the resistance measured does not represent the proper temperature or no resistance
is measured (i.e. Open circuit), the RTD is damaged and must be replaced.
Grounding check
1.Using an Ohm meter or a Multimeter, test for each wire of the RTD to the sheath for a
resistance value. If the RTD is installed in the Annubar sensor, test to the instrument
connections of Annubar sensor instead of the sheath of the RTD. All tests should
measure an infinite resistance (i.e. Open circuit) between the RTD wires and the sheath.
Reference Manual

4.3Pak-Lok, Flange-Lok, and Flo-Tap maintenance
The Pak-Lok, Flange-Lok, and Flo-Tap models utilize a packing gland mechanism to sustain a seal
on the process fluid. Periodically the packing rings need to be checked to ensure that they are
continuing to seal properly.
Check the packing gland for leaks. If a leak is present, check that the nuts are tightened
down on the packing studs. If the leak persists, then the packing rings should be
replaced.
If the process fluid goes through large degrees of temperature cycling, verify that the
packing is tightened down sufficiently and that the tip of the Annubar sensor is still
secured against the opposite side pipe wall. A leak would indicate the packing has
loosened. Also, excessive vibration of the Pak-Lok, Flange-lok, or Flo-tap model could
indicate the tip of the sensor is no longer secured to the pipe wall. For the Pak-lok or
Flange-lok models, re-tighten the nuts to ensure that the packing is sufficiently
tightened and that the tip of the Annubar sensor is still secured against the opposite
side pipe wall. For the Flo-tap models, tighten the drive nuts or rotate the crank
clockwise until the sensor is secured against the opposite side pipe wall. Re-tighten the
packing gland nuts to ensure that the packing is sufficiently tightened.
If there is excessive vibration present in the Annubar sensor, immediate attention is
required as the sensor may no longer be secured against the opposite side pipe wall.
This could result in the sensor bending, cracking, or breaking. For the Pak-lok or
Flange-lok models, re-tighten the nuts to ensure that the packing is sufficiently
tightened and that the tip of the Annubar sensor is still secured against the opposite
side pipe wall. For the Flo-tap models, tighten the drive nuts or rotate the crank
clockwise until the sensor is secured against the opposite side pipe wall. Re-tighten the
packing gland nuts to ensure that the packing is sufficiently tightened. If excessive
vibration is still present, contact an Emerson
If the packing rings appear brittle, old, or compressed beyond further use, a new set of
rings should be ordered for replacement. Installation instructions can be found in
Section 2: Installation of this manual.

Process Management representative.
Table 4-1. Replacement Part Numbers for Pak-Lok, Flange-Lok, and Flo-Tap Packing
In certain liquid applications (i.e. – buried water lines) it may be necessary to mount the
transmitter and Annubar sensor above the pipe. This can lead to gas entrapment in the impulse
piping which causes erratic flow readings.
One way to combat this problem is to install Automatic Vent Packages (AVP) on the impulse
lines. The vents will purge the gas periodically and keep the impulse lines clear. The key to the
installation is installing the vents and impulse piping so that any gas travels up to the vents and
away from the transmitter. Vents can usually be installed at any time. Contact your Emerson
Process Management representative for more details.
4.5Dirt accumulation
One inherent advantage of an Annubar primary element over devices such as orifice plates is the
ability to function in flows carrying dirt and grease. However, under extreme cases, some of the
sensing ports are completely obstructed or the outside shape is drastically changed by buildup.
Reference Manual
00809-0100-4809, Rev DA
There are two methods of cleaning the Annubar primary element to restore performance.
Mechanical cleaning is the more certain method, but does require removal of the Annubar
primary element. Purging is effective if the accumulation covers the sensing ports or blocks
internal passages.
In applications where a large amount of foreign material exists, it may be necessary to perform a
routine preventative maintenance by removing the Annubar primary element for cleaning. The
outer surfaces should be cleaned with a soft wire brush. The internal passages should be cleaned
with compressed air. If necessary, a solvent for dissolving foreign material may be appropriate.
Purging with an external fluid source under a higher pressure is an effective means of retaining
clear pressure pathways in the Annubar primary element.
The following precautions should be taken:
1.The purging fluid must be compatible with the process fluid and shouldn't cause other
problems such as contamination.
2.The purging fluid should be preheated or pre-cooled if the temperature difference of
the fluid and the process exceeds 150 °F (66 °C).
3.The differential pressure transmitter or meter should be isolated from the purge fluid to
prevent over-ranging.
4.Continuous purging is not recommended.
80
The length of time between purges, or the cycle time, as well as the length and volume of the
purge cycle must be determined experimentally. Some guidelines established as a starting
point for experimentation are as follows:
1.Supply pressure of at least 60 PSIG (415 kPa-g) and not exceeding 115 PSIG (795 kPa).
2.Purge air flow rate of at least 40 SCFM (68 Nm
3.Purge duration of at least 60 seconds.

least 0.035-in. (0.89 mm) wall thickness. Care must be taken to protect the secondary
instrumentation from high pressures and temperatures when purging an Annubar
primary element. Ear protection is also recommended for all personnel in the vicinity of
the system being purged. See figure for sample set-up.

4.6Main steam line Annubar sensor maintenance
Due to the extreme conditions that the Rosemount® 585 Main Steam Line Annubar Flowmeters
come into contact with, it should be removed and inspected annually to check for wear.
Emerson Process Management recommends a visual inspection and a Dye Penetrant; examine
to identify any cracks or wear on the Annubar sensor. After the Annubar sensor is inspected, it is
recommended to replace the packing rings to ensure a proper seal. Tab l e 4 -1 shows the
replacement part numbers for the packing rings and other spare parts.
