New technology is claimed to give unlimited range to the latest XL/7 series of in-line process viscometers from Hydramotion.
New technology is claimed to give unlimited range to the latest XL/7 series of in-line process viscometers from Hydramotion.
An XL/7 is said to be able to measure the dynamic viscosity of any fluid in real time under any process conditions, with repeatability.
The sensor is mounted in the full flow of the fluid with no need for any special pipe work and can be supplied with any process fitting, such as flanged, threaded or hygienic, said Hydromotion.
It can be mounted in any orientation, being unaffected by fluctuations in flow or the presence of bubbles or particulate solids.
The XL/7 is also claimed to have high sensitivity but that the patented sensor naturally rejects plant noise and vibration.
The standard sensor is constructed from 316 stainless steel, although special alloys such as Hastelloy or other materials can be used if required.
In addition, a high-polish, PTFE or custom finish can be applied.
The company said that viscosity is always measured at the process temperature and measurements can be corrected to a reference temperature.
High-temperature models do not require special cooling.
Viscosity is displayed on a separate signal processor unit, which can be located up to 3,000 metres from the transducer.
