2 System Components
2.1 Overview
The ViscoSite VL800 Viscometer is a modular system comprising a ViscoSite
transmitter and a VL800 viscosity transducer. The two components are
connected via a signal cable. The system determines the (Viscosity x Density)
product of a material sample stream using the method outlined in Section 1.2.
The system can be installed in many hazardous areas with the use of intrinsic
safety barriers between the transmitter and transducer. These are provided by
Galvanic Applied Sciences on a per-application basis and are delivered with the
transducer already connected.
An overview of the system is shown in Figure 2.1.
