Viscometers provide on-line measurements
The Viscojet VJ1 viscometer can be connected directly to a PLC or DCS for real-time monitoring and control.
Hydramotion has released an intelligent sensing system for continuous on-line viscosity measurement in process control environments requiring high resolution and accuracy with excellent repeatability Ready for use straight out of the box, the Viscojet VJ1 is a high-performance stand-alone device that can be connected directly to a PLC or DCS for real-time viscosity monitoring and control

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.
Storing all instrument-specific data on the sensor itself gives complete flexibility of installation while facilitating on-the-spot performance monitoring and optimisation.
Unaffected by vibration or flow conditions, the Viscojet is factory-calibrated to international standards traceable to NIST, which means that the device is shipped ready for immediate use with no need for field calibration.
Viscosity measurement can begin immediately following electrical hook-up.
The robust orientation-independent sensor has a solid construction with no moving parts, seals or bearings, so routine maintenance is not required even under difficult process conditions.
An integral thermometer provides simultaneous measurement of fluid temperature, allowing calculation and real-time display of viscosity corrected to a reference temperature.
Operating on any supply voltage between 12 and 26V DC, the Viscojet provides a 4-20mA analogue viscosity signal and a more comprehensive RS485 serial data link.
The associated PC-based ViscoLink software (supplied with the instrument) has a user-friendly interface showing live viscosity, current temperature and temperature-corrected viscosity and the data can be exported to Microsoft ExcelT for logging and analysis.
ViscoLink provides instant access to a complete set of diagnostic parameters for instrument validation purposes, thereby minimising the time, effort and cost involved in any regulatory assessment of calibration and condition.
Installed in minutes, the Viscojet offers an immediate, reliable and durable solution to the challenges of real-time on-line viscosity measurement on any process line. Request a free brochure from Hydramotion ...
