Viscometer Enables Press Operators to Go With Flow
With the Viscolite T15 portable viscometer, the latest addition to the range from Hydramotion, it is claimed that a press operator can easily measure the viscosity of a small sample of ink.
In-Line Measurement Of Ink Viscosity
With stainless steel construction, the XL/7 in-line process viscometer from Hydramotion is designed for in-line measurement and control of printing ink viscosity.
The Viscolite portable viscometer can be used with any volume of fluid, from a cupful to a tank, with no need for on-site set-up, adjustment or calibration.
It is powered by four AA batteries, is lightweight and easily portable, making possible the quick testing of any fluid in situ claimed the company.
It consists of a hand-held immersion sensor connected by a flexible coil lead to a digital Display Unit ingress protected to IP65.
Instant readings mean that samples or batches can be dealt with easily and rapidly.
The sensor is simply immersed in the fluid under test and the viscosity is shown on the display unit.
An optional platinum resistance thermometer (PRT) automatically corrects the measured viscosity to a reference temperature.
A standard model Viscolite has an all-316L stainless steel sensor and covers a viscosity range of 0 to 10,000 cP and can operate in the temperature range 50 to +150 degrees C.
Hydramotion also said that as the instrument is immune to exterior vibration it can be used with confidence in the noisiest environments.
Maintenance requirements are minimal, as the Viscolite has no seals, bearings or moving parts to wear out.
A Certificate of Calibration and Conformity is shipped with each Viscolite, which is supplied in its own robust carrying case. Request a free brochure from Hydramotion ...
