basic information
- 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.

A small amount of viscosity measurement is the key to accurate viscosity analysis.
Accurate viscosity measurement with a small sample size is beneficial in all applications. In various fluids, the correlation between laboratory-level measurements of production products and inline process measurements is important. Cambridge's viscometers are compact and robust, making them suitable for processes that must be installed in limited spaces, and they can perform measurements unaffected by changing temperatures, pressures, or surrounding vibrations.

Real-time viscosity measurement of a diesel engine common rail test stand.
A viscosity meter manufactured by Cambridge has been adopted for measuring the viscosity of diesel fuel in the common rail test stand. This involves real-time measurements using the viscosity meter implemented in the test stand, rather than sampling tests conducted in a lab. Measuring fuel viscosity is effective for the development of high-precision fuel injection systems in response to increasingly stringent emissions regulations, and it monitors the temporal changes in fuel characteristics.

Introduction of examples for viscosity measurement of medical polymers.
A viscosity meter manufactured by Cambridge has been adopted in the manufacturing process of dialysis membranes for artificial kidneys. It is used as a viscosity monitor during the mixing of polymer raw materials, but the polymer manufacturing process involves repeated heating and cooling, resulting in strict viscosity tracking. The effectiveness of real-time measurement, as opposed to lab tests after sampling, is evident, and it is advancing productivity and cost reduction while maintaining high-quality standards.

Fuel oil viscosity control
The Cambridge VISCOpro 2000 viscosity control device accurately performs viscosity control of fuel oil. By precisely controlling viscosity and maintaining perfect combustion, it not only reduces fuel consumption but also lowers maintenance for various combustion systems and equipment, as well as the burden on emission treatment devices, enabling overall cost reduction. The VISCOpro 2000 features a robust structure, with sensors made of 316 stainless steel, and is composed of sophisticated and easily operable electronic components. The sensors are installed in the fuel system, and the controller outputs alarms, viscosity, temperature, and temperature-corrected viscosity, directly controlling temperature adjustment equipment to maintain the set viscosity.
