SMALL BORE SOLUTION
The Hydramotion ThruVisc process viscometer is the perfect solution for measuring viscosity inline in small bore pipes and tubes. Each viscometer in the range has a completely clear bore which is ideal for sanitary applications or any situation where there is risk of contamination.
The sensor also has all the attributes found in every Hydramotion viscometer: high accuracy, no moving parts, negligible maintenance, and a robust construction to withstand harsh duty and high pressure.
CLEAR BORE
The seamless flow-tube at the heart of the ThruVisc presents a clear uninterrupted pathway for the liquid with no hiding place for trapped fluid. This makes it compatible with pigging systems, as often used with inks and coatings, where contamination from residual fluid in the system cannot be tolerated.
THRUVISC IN USE
Viscosity can be measured for almost any Newtonian fluids whether they are moving or at rest. In addition, the ThruVisc is ideal for most non-Newtonian fluids because its high shear rate results in highly repeatable measurements that aren’t affected by flow rate changes.
The compact sensor is not affected by flow, orientation or bubbles, and can be located anywhere in the system. It is available with a wide choice of tube/pipe fittings. Wetted material is 316 stainless steel as standard with options for C276 and C22 alloys.
ThruViscs viscometers connect with all VP Processors giving the options for either simple single installations or complete integration with any plant-wide control systems.
