2 The Beginning of Better Measurement Insertion Technology Save installation Simple Installations Better measurement begins by selecting the best flow technology for each application. Averaging Pitot Tube (APT) technology has been specified for over 30 years in applications requiring performance, flexibility, and lower total cost of ownership. The innovative technology of the newest Rosemount Annubar sensor offers more advantages that save you time and money, whether you are building a new plant or measuring flow in an existing pipe. Annubar flowmeter installations are simple and affordable, especially on large line sizes. Annubar installations reduce hardware requirements and save time because they do not require special flanges, spool sections, or piping modifications. A complete flowmeter installation is done in four simple steps: Energy Savings Lower Operating Costs After installation, Annubar flowmeters reduce operational expenditures. The non-constricting design of the Annubar sensor creates less permanent pressure loss than virtually any other DP flow primary element. This translates into substantial energy savings by allowing: Lower pumping costs in liquids Lower compression costs in gas Lower fuel costs for generating steam time and money with a single pipe penetration Minimize annual energy costs with reduced permanent pressure loss Reduce start-up costs with flexible mounting The return on investment in energy savings from using the Rosemount Annubar flowmeter can be as short as six months! styles Flexible Mounting Styles Pak-Lok assembly This popular, easy-to-use mechanism utilizes the latest patented compression design to firmly secure the Annubar sensor to the opposite wall of the pipe. Flanged assembly The rugged structural requirements of high-pressure applications are met with the flanged assembly. Flange-Lok assembly Combines the Pak-Lok compression sealing mechanism with a mounting flange for convenient installation with a single pipe penetration. Flo-Tap assembly The Flo-Tap Annubar assembly can be hot-tapped without interrupting process flow. There is no need to shut down your process to install a flowmeter.

3 The Foundation of Better Measurement Rosemount Annubar Sensor Extend flow rangeability with the T shaped sensor Improve flow accuracy with the patented frontal slot design Increase plant uptime with maintenance free operation The shape of the APT sensor is paramount to performance. That s why the inventors of APTs have introduced the innovative T-shaped Annubar sensor. This patented primary element is revolutionizing the process industry by improving performance and measurement practices. Maintenance-Free Design Increases Plant Uptime The Rosemount Annubar sensor saves you money because it is easy to maintain and is rugged enough to stand up to the application. The Annubar sensor is resistant to wear, warp, or pluggage. The patented manifold head allows convenient RTD maintenance. Integral Temperature Measurement Saves Money Eliminate the additional hardware, installation time and money associated with a separate temperature assembly. With the Annubar sensor, temperature measurement comes built-in. The T-shaped sensor includes a sealed, pressure-retaining thermowell allowing RTD removal without process shut-down. Patented Slot Design for ±0.75% Flow Accuracy Repeatable and accurate measurements can save you money. Whether you are regulating batch processes or monitoring flow rate, the Rosemount Annubar sensor provides ±0.75% accurate measurements you can rely on. A patented frontal slot design measures 70% more of the velocity flow profile than individual sensing ports. Better sampling increases the accuracy of the measurement. Low Signal Noise Enables Tighter Process Control Maintaining tight process control is essential to reducing variability for higher quality product. The low signal noise produced by the Annubar sensor allows use in control applications and extends the usage of APT technology in process measurement. Stagnation zones on the backside of the patented T- shaped Annubar sensor are positioned to reduce noise and unnecessary pressure variations. Sensing ports located in this region measure the low pressure. Higher Signal Improves Low Flow Measurement Never before has measuring lower flow rates been so easy. The geometry of the Rosemount Annubar sensor creates accurate and repeatable measurements over a greater turndown. The flat upstream surface of the Annubar sensor is perpendicular to flow, which results in a fixed separation point that improves performance over a wider flow range.
