The Rosemount 3051CFC Compact Orifice Flow Meter is a premier industrial flow monitoring solution engineered for high-accuracy closed-loop control and custody transfer applications. By integrating the primary element directly with the pressure transmitter, this compact orifice design reduces potential leak points by up to 70%, eliminating the need for extensive impulse piping and lowering installation costs.

Q: What pipe sizes is the Rosemount 3051CFC compatible with?
A: This compact flow meter supports nominal line sizes ranging from 0.5 to 12 inches (15 to 300 mm).
Q: Can the Rosemount 3051CFC be used for high-temperature steam service?
A: Yes. The 3051CFC primary element is engineered to deliver reliable and accurate differential pressure (DP) flow measurement for saturated/superheated steam, gas, and liquid services.
Q: How does Bluetooth® connectivity improve field safety?
A: Bluetooth® connectivity allows technicians to perform maintenance, diagnostics, and zero-trims from up to 50 feet away, keeping personnel safe from hazardous or hard-to-reach locations.
Q: What is the lifespan of the wireless models' power module?
A: The green SmartPower™ module provides up to 10 years of maintenance-free operation under standard update rates and is easily field-replaceable.
Q: Does it include predictive diagnostics for clogging?
A: Yes, the integrated Plugged Impulse Line Diagnostics continuously monitor the DP sensor's electrical noise to detect lines that are freezing or plugging, triggering an alert before the measurement fails.
Q: What is the difference between Rosemount 3051CFC and 3051CFP, and can the CFP version be used for large diameter main-line piping?
A: The Rosemount 3051CFP Integral Orifice Flow Meter is specialized and optimized only for small bore piping (under 0.5 inches). For larger main-line applications where minimizing permanent pressure loss is critical, you should use the 3051CFC or upgrade to the Rosemount 2051CFA Annular Flow Meter featuring an Annubar averaging pitot tube design.
Q: Do you offer alternative industrial differential pressure solutions from other premium brands?
A: Yes. As a multi-brand industrial instrumentation supplier, we also provide technical equivalent differential pressure transmitters, such as the Endress+Hauser Deltabar PMD75B Smart DP Transmitter, to satisfy your plant's standardization and global procurement needs.
