Our products are used for measurement of viscosity and temperature in either a laboratory or process environment. A complete system consists of up to four pieces, 1) the measurement sensor, 2) electronics to power and excite the sensor then interpret and linearize the response, 3) software resident on your computer for download of datalogs, alarm setup, graphing, tabular history, etc., and 4) accessories for interface to process lines, tanks, lab sampling, temperature control, etc. A sensor with electronics will run automatically as soon as power is applied, so the minimum system is a sensor and a circuit card. The client side software adds functionality and convenience. Accessories enable easy interface to virtually any process line configuration and convenience in the lab for sampling and measurement.

Accessories

In our support section we offer several ways to install our sensors into a process line or tank. Line installation involves positioning the sensor inside piping or in a manifold. We offer a convenient adaptor which mates to the top of the sensor [1/4NPT thread] and a variety of common piping threads, such as 1, 1.25, 1.5 inch NPT, 30mm, 40mm, etc. For details consult the factory.

Sometimes the most convenient process installation is into a tank from the top. Particularly if the application will involve frequent change out and lots of handling [e.g. paints or inks], we recommend a protective cage with mounting stem, which we offer in a variety of lengths. For details consult the factory.
