http://www.sofraser.com Sofraser's news : Viscosity measurement http://www.sofraser.com/portable_viscometer.htm http://www.sofraser.com/portable_viscometer.htm Sometimes you have to measure the viscosity of your product no matter when and no matter where. Process inline viscometer isn't the solution and taking the sample to lab costs time. In order to answer to this increasing market's request, Sofraser especially developed the new PIVI portable viscometer for field, factory and laboratory viscosity measurement. PIVI can be supplied with any range from 0,1-100 mPa.s to 100-100 000 mPa.s and handles a wide set of products. PIVI uses the vibrating type principle and profits by all the related advantages : easy to clean, no wear part, simple, rugged, accurate and reliable. PIVI displays instantaneously the viscosity value, can store up to 40 measurements and has an RS 232 link. Like the Sofraser's process viscometers PIVI can be equipped with temperature probe and handle product temperature up to 100 degree Celcius Wed, 4 Apr 2007 19:30:00 GMT http://www.sofraser.com/viscometer_mivi.htm http://www.sofraser.com/viscometer_mivi.htm PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION : The active part of the MIVI viscometer is a vibrating rod excited by a constant electrical power. The vibration amplitude varies according to the viscosity of the fluid in which the rod is immersed. As there is no wear parts, our process viscometers require no maintenance. Some of our process viscometers can work in the most difficult conditions : Exproof area, 300 bar, 300°C, 1 000 000 mPa.s. Wed, 4 Apr 2007 19:31:00 GMT
