2.2 SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The
ViscoSense
®
3
viscosity system consists of:
the combined viscosity and temperature measuring sensor
the sensor housing
Interface box
The sensor housing is made of ductile iron and has flanges for direct mounting in the fuel line. The
sensor itself is made of stainless steel and is mounted in the housing. The sensor head has a special
DLC coating and it is mechanically protected by a stainless steel flow tube with 3 oval slits. It is
supplied with 5 metres of signal cable for connection to the interface box.
The
ViscoSense
®
3
Interface box is a wall mount electronic unit, processing the signals to and from
the sensor. It provides 4...20 mA signals for remote read-out of viscosity and temperature for a
flowcomputer, controller or other system elements. See separate technical manuals for a description
of these components.
