SenGenuity's ViSmart viscosity sensor is designed to provide instantaneous sample and/or continuous, real-time, in-process viscosity measurements for embedded, in-line environments.
SenGenuity's ViSmart viscosity sensor is now available packaged as a threaded bolt.
The threaded bolt, available in 1/2in in NPT or 1/2in in BPT thread configurations and equipped with a smart sensor interface, provides for easy installation and seamless integration into a range of embedded applications, including host control platforms.
"Our customers frequently come to us looking for ways to empower their designers with a cost-effective solution to determine viscosity in a very portable and easy-to-install sensor product".
"This demand is particularly high in industries that use mobile or fixed plant-wide assets where the current methodology of testing in off-site labs is time consuming and costly", said Kerem Durdag, Director of Business Development, SenGenuity.
SenGenuity's ViSmart viscosity sensor is designed to provide instantaneous sample and/or continuous, real-time, in-process viscosity measurements for embedded, in-line environments requiring high resolution and accuracy in low to mid-range viscosity fluids.
The ViSmart viscosity sensor uses robust and reliable semiconductor technology, has no moving parts and is sealed for complete immersion.
It is unaffected by vibration or flow conditions, does not need field calibration and is packaged in a very portable, lightweight size.
The ViSmart sensor measures a wide range of viscosities and is rated for temperatures up to 125C in a threaded bolt package for quick installation, with custom options and configurations available for specific industry applications and process requirements.
"With the threaded bolt format, our ViSmart viscosity sensor can mechanically bolt into an extensive array of assets, such as engines, transmission crankcases, oil pans and oil reservoirs", Shravan Jumani, Product Manager, SenGenuity said.
The ViSmart model series can be connected to any computer or control platform via the standard protocols and the VisConnect 4-20 mA transmitter to provide a continuous audit trail for process monitoring markets to control operating costs and maintain quality standards.
Customers can use SenGenuity's starter kit bench-top viscometer data station to acquire multiple channels of continuous viscosity and temperature data.
