Smart Approach to Viscosity Measurement and Control

- The innovative sensor's operating element (piston), based on the free-fall principle, performs reciprocating motion in the fluid within the measurement chamber through electromagnetic movement. - The piston operates within the liquid that flows into the measurement chamber, and the time required for its reciprocating motion is analyzed and converted to absolute viscosity. Additionally, the built-in temperature sensor continuously outputs the actual temperature data within the chamber, contributing to the calculation of temperature-corrected viscosity (TCV). - The piston’s reciprocating motion continuously allows for the inflow and outflow of fluid, and all wetted components are made of stainless steel, ensuring corrosion resistance.

High-pressure and high-temperature fluid viscosity measurement device. Supports pressure up to 138 MPa, temperature up to 190°C, and viscosity up to 10,000 cP.

The monitor for settings not only has analog output, but its usability is further expanded by connecting to an external PC via a digital communication port.

Inline high-temperature process viscosity control device. Maximum temperature 375°C, viscosity range 0.2-20,000 cP.

The sensor is a falling body type, which uses the magnetic force of two built-in coils to move a small piston back and forth, converting that time into viscosity. Additionally, a built-in temperature sensor (temperature resistance element) measures temperature and converts it into temperature-compensated viscosity. The total measurement range is 0.2-20,000 cP, divided into 13 ranges, from which you can select the sensor. For viscosity control, it can be configured with 40 different setting programs, making it unnecessary to operate during use.

The sensors are a product range that accommodates a wide variety of applications, from compact drop-type and tabletop models to process inline types.

The measurement principle is "free fall," where two coils built into the sensor move the piston back and forth, and this time is displayed and output as absolute viscosity. The movement of the piston draws the liquid into the measurement chamber and discharges it, allowing for continuous measurement of fresh sample liquid. Additionally, the attached RTD of the sensor measures the actual temperature of the liquid, and based on this data, the temperature-compensated viscosity value further enhances process management.
