Viscosity measured on the spot
The Viscolite 700 from Hydramotion gives instant spot measurement of viscosity in the field, factory or lab without requiring any on-site setup or calibration.
"The Viscolite is quick and easy to use", commented one of the engineers involved in viscosity monitoring at a site in the Middle East.
"We save a lot of time".
"And it is also accurate, as we have checked with fluids tested in external laboratories".
The battery-operated Viscolite is a fully portable viscometer covering the range 0-10,000cP at temperatures up to 125C.
Maintenance is virtually nil as the sensor is a solid 316 stainless steel probe with no delicate or expensive accessories and no moving parts to wear out or fail in service.
Operation is simplicity itself - the probe is immersed in the sample and viscosity is displayed immediately on the readout unit.
After use, the probe is just wiped clean.
The whole system is supplied in a robust carrying case for ease of storage or transport.
Previous instruments were awkward to handle, vulnerable to damage, and unable to cope with the viscosity range involved (from below 1 to above 3000 centipoise).
Now, using the Viscolite, viscosity measurement has become a rapid routine matter, producing savings in both time and equipment. Request a free brochure from Hydramotion ...
