Flow-through cell for online viscosity measurement

New from viscosity measurement specialists Hydramotion is a flow-through measurement cell designed exclusively for use with its popular Viscolite VL700HP-T15 small-sample viscometer

The new cell offers a quick and convenient solution for applications requiring continuous viscosity measurement in the laboratory.

The unit is particularly suited to benchtop fluid-flow assemblies incorporating a peristaltic pump such as continuous-flow analysers.

The inlet and outlet ports are typically threaded for use with standard nylon or polypropylene fluid connectors, but any other type can be specified.

Alternatively the cell can be supplied with integral luer, barbed or threaded inlet/outlet connectors.

With the viscometer in place the volume of the cell is approximately 10ml.

The cell is available in 316 stainless steel (standard) or other materials such as special alloys or PTFE, depending on the fluid(s) to be measured.

If necessary the cell can be completely disassembled, for example for cleaning purposes.

The Viscolite VL700HP-T15 viscometer itself combines ease of use, reliability and minimal maintenance with the added advantages of a 4-20 mA analogue viscosity output and an RS232 serial data link for connection to a PC in the laboratory.

With a temperature range of - 20 to +120C, the VL700HP-T15 has very high sensitivity and excellent repeatability, even at low viscosity.

An integrated temperature probe and temperature-correction software enables measurements to be taken ad hoc without having to control the temperature of the sample.

Rugged construction and the absence of moving parts means the viscometer can be cleaned in place.

The VL700HP-T15 is factory-calibrated and needs no accessories, making it ready for immediate use without requiring day-to-day adjustment or recalibration by the user.
