The Rosemount 3051CFC is a premier industrial flow monitoring solution designed for closed-loop control and custody transfer applications. This compact orifice flow meter utilizes either a standard ASME/ISO corner tap orifice or a patented 4-hole conditioning plate that fits seamlessly between raised-face flanges. By integrating the primary element directly with the transmitter, the system reduces potential leak points by up to 70%.
Equipped with Bluetooth flow transmitter capabilities, the 3051CFC allows for maintenance without physical connections. The device supports WirelessHART flow meter configurations, delivering >99% data reliability for remote monitoring. For enhanced safety, the SIL 2/3 certified architecture includes plugged impulse line diagnostics to detect piping issues before they impact process quality.

Standard Compact Orifice: Best for general-purpose gas, liquid, and steam service where cost-efficiency is a priority.
4-Hole Conditioning Plate: Ideal for applications with limited straight pipe runs, as the patented design provides accurate differential pressure flow measurement in turbulent conditions.
Protocol Choice: Select WirelessHART for cost-effective installation without wiring costs, or 4-20 mA HART for traditional wired systems.
Flange Fitting: The 3051CFC is designed to fit between standard raised-face flanges, simplifying the physical installation process.
Display Orientation: Utilize the graphical, back-lit display with quick service buttons to streamline commissioning in the field.
Safety Compliance: Ensure the installation meets NACE® or hazardous location requirements as specified in the full certifications list.
Wireless Monitoring: Use the user-selectable wireless update rate (1 sec to 60 min) to balance data needs with Power Module life.
Diagnostic Alerts: Regularly check Loop Integrity Diagnostics via Bluetooth to identify electrical issues without opening the enclosure.
Impulse Lines: Monitor for plugging using the built-in plugged impulse line diagnostics to reduce unplanned downtime.
