Viscotronics

The ViscoTron sensors have been developed employing experience gained over more than 30 years of applying, developing and manufacturing torsional motion viscometers. The
development has been significantly influenced by customer experience and input. Innovative assembly allows the sensors to be manufactured to match customer application requirements by using any length or shape of extension.

The viscometer creates a shear wave by torsionally resonating the sensor. The drag on the twisting motion is a measure of the viscosity. Sensors are available in versions to measure very low, low, medium, high or extra high viscosities in pressures up to 27 MPa (4,000 psi) and temperatures up to 450°C (840°F). Factory calibration with Newtonian ASTM traceable fluids over multiple decades is optional.
