Viscosity sensor
2.1. Various models
•
General-purpose sensors.
•
Sanitary sensors.
•
Ex-proof sensors (ATEX, FM, JIS).
•
High pressure sensors (up to 150 bars).
•
Special models, according to the requirements (material and design).
•
When required, a temperature probe can be incorporated to the MIVI sensor.
2.2. Sensor installation
It operates at any position, even upside down. Its active part has to be permanently immersed in
the fluid (low part of the network or reactor). If the fluid temperature varies widely and fast, choose the
upside down or horizontal position, in order to allow a convenient air convection among the sensor
body.
It is screwed to its mounting flange by means of 4 screws M6X100 (or 8 screws M8 for high
pressures). The mounting flange has to be welded close to the device generating the viscosity
variations (heater, mixer, reactor, etc…). Retention, high flow velocities, strong vibrations and high
magnetic fields have to be avoided.
According to the application the mounting flange material can be :
Stainless steel Z3CND 17/11-02 (316L).
Carbon steel XC38.
Other materials, according to the requirement.
