the drive signal, and knowledge of the material density enables calculation of
viscosity.
Transducer sensor tips with different shapes and surface areas allow
measurement across a broad range of kinematic viscosities from 0.1 to
1,000,000 cP (assuming a density of 1.00 g/cm
3
.)
1.4 Features of the ViscoSite Viscometer
The ViscoSite Viscometer provides:
•
Viscosity determination across a broad range (when material density is
known);
•
A separate transducer and transmitter, allowing for remote installation of the
transmitter in non-hazardous areas, with a maximum separation distance of
300 metres;
•
Choice of transducer probe materials and coatings for low friction and/or
harsh process environments;
•
Integral transducer cooling for high temperature applications;
•
User-programmable isolated analog outputs (3) and digital relay outputs (2)
for remote data collection and alarm monitoring;
•
1 Isolated Analog Input (Density);
•
Multiple Communications Options
–
Modbus RTU over Ethernet, USB, and
RS232C/RS485.
1.5 Operational Control
The ViscoSite transmitter includes an onboard microprocessor which supplies
and controls
•
The local user interface (UI);
•
The data acquisition and processing subsystem for determination of:
•
the resonance frequency;
•
the power required to drive the transducer at constant amplitude;
•
the phase angle between the response and drive signals;
•
the transducer temperature (transducer probe and block).
Configuration of the system locally (using only the transmitter keypad) is outlined
in Section 4.
Configuration of the system via local connection (USB) and/or remote LAN
connection using the ViscoSite for PC software application is outlined in Section
5.
