Inline process viscometer

Sofraser MIVI sensor, the most precise and robust inline viscometer

Inventor of the first tuning-type viscometer (vibration at resonance frequency) in 1981, Sofraser has since become a world leader in process viscometry.

Reliable and repeatable, the Sofraser MIVI sensor results in peak production and end-product quality by delivering instantaneous measurement and efficient analysis such as viscosity, density, concentration, phase detection, etc.

Compatible with the harshest environments, the Sofraser MIVI Viscometer offers the highest performance on the market and fits multiple mounting configurations: large pipes, reactors and tanks, pipe angles... allowing optimal fluid measurement.

  Features & benefits

IMPROVED PROCESS OPERATIONS:

- Precise, Robust and Versatile
- A single sensor able to provide continuous and instantaneous viscosity, 
density and temperature measurements
- Both dynamic and kinematic viscosities available
- Continous control combined with superior quality result in permanent 
production efficiency and increased profitability 

EASY-TO-USE:

- Simple installation: ideal for inline, online, or on reactor 
- Multiple mounting configurations and positions allow optimal fluid measurement
- With no wearing parts, the MIVI works for years without maintenance or calibration 

MATCHED WITH ELECTRONIC:

The MIVI sensor is matched with state-of-the-art display, data processing electronic device with adjustable outputs capabilities. It easily handles all process and quality control needs.
