Viscometer deals with small samples
The Viscolite VL700HP-T15 is capable of measuring fluid volumes down to just 10ml
Fluid viscosity measurement comes online
Once a mainstay of laboratory analysis, fluid viscosity measurement has now been brought on-line in the shape of XL Series Process Viscometers from Hydramotion.
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.
Hydramotion also provides data logging software for recording the output viscosity data into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
The bench top version also includes an integrated temperature probe and temperature-correction software as standard.
With a range of 0.1 to 10,000cP in fluids at -40 to 150 C, the instrument has very high repeatability and excellent sensitivity, even at low viscosity.
It is ideal for tracking changes in viscosity during reactions in the laboratory, for example polymerisation or esterification.
As with the portable instrument, the solid rod sensor is simply immersed in the fluid under test and viscosity is immediately displayed on the dedicated readout unit.
The standard VL700HP can be used with any fluid volume over about 75ml, while the small-sample T15 model requires little more than 10ml.
Once measurements are completed, the probe is cleaned within seconds.
The Viscolite is factory calibrated and immediately ready for use without requiring day to day adjustment or recalibration by the user.
Rugged construction and the absence of moving parts means the Viscolite needs no accessories and virtually no maintenance, giving a low cost of ownership. Request a free brochure from Hydramotion ...
