Notes
The Rosemount 8600 measures the volumetric flow under operating conditions (i.e. the actual volume at the
operating pressure and temperature—acfm or acmh), as shown above. However, gas volumes are strongly dependent
on pressure and temperature. Therefore, gas quantities are typically stated in standard or normal conditions (for
example: SCFM or NCMH). (Standard conditions are typically 59 °F and 14.7 psia. Normal conditions are typically 0 °C
and 1 bar abs.)
The flow rate limits in standard conditions are found using the equations below:
Standard Flow Rate = Actual Flow Rate X Density Ratio
Density Ratio = Density at Actual (Operating) Conditions/Density at Standard Conditions
