Realtime viscosity monitoring, even at high pressure

| By Chemical Engineering

The new XL7-HT2 high-temperature viscometer provides continuous realtime viscometry measurement of fluids at up to 450°C without special cooling. The device has no moving parts, and the sensor is an all-welded construction that can be mounted at any location and in any orientation using any process fittings. Calibration is unaffected by installation or environment. The standard sensor is made of 316 stainless steel, but if necessary, other materials of construction can be used. High-pressure models are rated at 20,000 psi (1,380 bars) or greater. Viscosities of up to 1,000,000,000 cP can be measured. — Hydramotion Ltd., York, England
