Easily Remove this Tank-Mounted Viscosity Sensor for Cleaning

| By Chemical Engineering

A tank-mounted viscosity sensor (photo) is available for both water- and solvent-based applications, such as printing, glues and adhesives, that operates at atmospheric pressure and has removable wetted parts. The MXBOC Viscosity Sensor is suitable for use with tanks 7 – 26-in. deep and operates at atmospheric pressure. Featuring a new one-bolt mounting mechanism, the all-stainless-steel wetted parts can be easily removed for cleaning and sterilization without having to disturb the air or electrical connections. Using the "piston time-of-fall" method, the MXBOC measures viscosities from 0.1 to 100,000 cps and is CE and ATEX compliant. It requires 40 psi dry air and a three-way 24-V-d.c. air valve, and is PLC compatible for use with the firm’s process controllers. — Norcross Corp., Newton, Mass.
