The ReactaVisc is a
research grade device for the continuous real-time measurement of
viscosity in reaction vessels. The narrow bodies enclosure takes up
minimal space at the top of the vessel, leaving plenty of room for other
equipment such as stirrers or condensers.
The standard viscometer can
often be fitted to a laboratory scale vessel without requiring special
support. The movable gland adapter enables the immersion depth to be
varied at will.
The accompanying display
unit provides analog and digital outputs for data logging or remote
monitoring. If hooked up to a suitable temperature sensor,
temperature corrected viscosity can also be calculated.
Typical applications
include viscosity monitoring during polymerization or esterification
reactions, for example in a research project or as part of a small-scale
production facility.
