Special Viscometers
When You Need Something Special . . . .
We do not live in a standard world -- that's why Hydramotion produces viscometers to meet the demands of many special process applications. These include everything from (very) long reach sensors to diminutive machines for measuring small sample viscosity.
The viscometers can also be supplied in a range of alternative materials and finishes, such as fluoropolymer.

Melt Viscometer
The XL7 Polymer series viscometers are specifically designed for melt-pipe extruder applications. These viscometers provide continuous real-time dynamic viscosity of melts. Their special high-load construction allows uninterrupted duty under high temperature, pressure and viscosity conditions with virtually no maintenance. The sensing part of the transducer is contoured to fit the radius of the pipe so the sensor presents a flush surface to the inner bore of the pipe, eliminating troublesome pockets and minimizing any disruption to flow. Please contact us to learn more about a unique transducer that has brought simplicity and reliability to a traditionally demanding field. |

Zooming in on Small Changes
In the world of viscosity measurement, small changes can make big differences. The Hydramotion VS10 process viscometer has been designed specifically for the engineer looking for high sensitivity combined with high performance and excellent repeatability, even at viscosities below that of water.
It is the first and only on-line viscometer capable of dealing with such low viscosities reliably.
Factor-calibrated to the customer's desire range, the VS10 is a field-hardened instrument with a sensitivity many times that of most laboratory viscometers, making it the instrument of choice wherever high sensitivity, focused range and the ability to deal with low viscosities are required. A research institute in Japan is using a VS10 to detect changes of as little as 0.01 cP in fluids of viscosity less than 1 cP at high temperatures (up to 500 degrees C).
The VS10 is already proving its worth in the measurement of polymer slurries and fuel oils, amongst other applications. The instrument is also ideal for use with volatile or highly mobile solvents. The probe terminates in a disc-shaped sensor only 3mm deep. It is simple to install and can be used in a tank or pipe of any size at any temperature or pressure.
As with all Hydramotion viscometers, the VS10 is unaffected by flow rate or plan vibration, requires no on-site calibration and is virtually maintenance free.
