The Micro Motion Heavy Fuel Viscosity Meter (HFVM) Viscomaster is the next generation of the Micro Motion 7829 Viscomaster direct-insertion viscosity and density meter. Making use of the same rugged and reliable tuning fork design as its predecessors, the HFVM incorporates a new robust low-friction diamond-like carbon (DLC) coating. This makes it ideal for tackling the most demanding of process applications, such as marine heavy fuel oil (HFO) combustion control, marine gas oil (MGO) viscosity control and land-based fired heaters. System integration and startup commissioning costs are significantly reduced due to the support from 4–20-mA, HART, WirelessHART and RS485 Modbus communications. — Emerson Process Management, Baar, Switzerland
