Features of New VTE Electric Viscosel
- Convenient & Inexpensive: Viscosity measurement and control combined in one compact package that mounts easily to process equipment on the production floor. Operating method uses the well-accepted coaxial cylinder principle of viscosity measurement.
- Responsive: The Viscosel®'s sensitive response and automatic operation assures continuous conditioning of fluid.
- Measures In-line: Eliminates time constraints associated with viscosity analysis of grab samples in the laboratory; provides early detection and correction of in-process deviations from desired set points.
- Quality Control: Decreases raw material and product waste; maintains control of desirable product qualities (coating thickness, ink printability, % solids, etc.)
- Easy to Clean: Only the measuring cylinder and sample chamber come in contact with the sample. They can be easily cleaned or - if necessary - replaced without re-calibration.
- Easy to Change Range: Measuring cylinders hook on and off easily, without tools and without need to adjust the instrument.
- Standard or Custom Mounting: Using the standard mount, the Viscosel® can be moved wherever and whenever required. Custom bracket, cart, and tank mounts are available.
- ±1% Accuracy Full Scale: The Viscosel® is guaranteed to be accurate within ±1% of the range in use and reproducible to ±0.5% of full scale range.
- Repeatability: Repeatability to ±0.2% of full scale range
- All the Advantages of Digital Electronics:
- Integral viscosity controller with relay output
- Continuous linear output signal (4-20 mA)
- Easy-to-read digital display in % torque or engineering units
- Multiple speeds (increases measurement range)
