Multi- Shear Inline Viscometer For Accurate Rheological Information
Posted on Mon, Oct 31, 2011
Identifying the rheological characteristics of a fluid system is typically completed in a laboratory, takes a long time, and requires large amounts of fluid. Cambridge Viscosity has developed a new multi-shear inline viscometer that changes all of this. Accurate rheological information is now available rapidly in a small sample process stream. 
Cambridge’s new multi-shear viscometer is available for Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, ranging from concentrated suspensions to any type of coating application. Evaluated as a rheological screening device, measurements from the controller compare well with those on the same fluids under the same conditions, as when using a rheometer. (see graph) The new Cambridge viscometer should be considered anywhere in-line rheometric knowledge is required.
Easy to clean and maintain, the device performs well throughout the viscosity range of 0.2-10,000cP. The VISCOpro automatically cycles through calibrations at three different force levels to test at low, medium and high shear rates. The system allows users to easily distinguish between Newtonian and Non-Newtonian fluids, and results of the discrete steps are reported within 10-15 minutes, depending on the viscosity range.
