How to Configure my Viscometer

Aug 5, 2020 8:08:45 AM / by Patrick Riley

The Viscometer Configuration Guide is used to build our viscometer to meet your unique process needs. Our VISCOpro 2100 platform offers a range of options for different mounting, outputs, and sensors choices. The guide steps you through choosing these options and builds a specific product code which can be used for specifications, pricing, drawings, and literature.

The Guide can be accessed at our website for the VISCOpro 2100 product.  The first page defines the options and the second page provides details.

To use the guide, work from left to right. Select the electronics housing option (DIN rail mounted or explosion-proof) and then choose required firmware, temperature range, hazardous area classification, process sensor, and viscosity range. On the right, there are questions specific to certain configurations that need more clarification:

  • Cable Length- defines the length between DIN rail mounted electronics and the sensor
  • Pressure Rating- sensors are rated to 1,000 PSI (70 Bar) with options up to 5,000 PSI (350 bar)
  • Body Length- for sensors with ANSI or DIN flanges. Available in 6” lengths for small diameter process lines or 10” length for deeper penetration in larger diameter piping.
  • Temperature Jacket- the model 372 sensor (code C4) can be fitted with a jacket to maintain sample temperature using a thermally controlled water bath
  • In-Tanks Stem Length- the model 321 sensor (code C13) is inserted from the top of a vessel or a tank. Options include common stem lengths (18”, 36” and 60”). Custom lengths are available.
  • Piston Material- standard pistons are constructed of 316SS and 430SS.  They can be coated with 316LSS or Hastelloy for exposure to corrosive materials. They can also be special ordered in other alloys.
  • Wireless Adapter- available to allow users to connect directly to the viscometer using a PC or a mobile phone. The wireless interface has full functionality, including downloading data and configuring the instrument to meet your specific needs.

The completed guide will generate a code, for example, E1-CV3-LT-A4-C4-7. You can email this code and any questions to sales@cambridgeviscosity.com and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours with pricing, availability and clarification.
