M10 viscosity sensor
Using the “piston time-of-fall” method, the M10 viscosity sensor measures viscosities from 0.1 to 100,000 cP at pressures from vacuum to 100 psi. It is designed for suspensions or solutions, and is sensitive enough to detect the difference in the viscosity of boiling water (0.294 cP) and ambient water (1.06 cP). The sensor features Type 316 stainless steel wetted parts, and can be equipped with piston rods of 12 different sizes for installation in tanks from 12 in. to 12 ft deep. A suitable replacement for manual viscosity measurement techniques, it can be used with a PLC to provide  automatic sampling and process control.

In-Line Viscosity and Temperature Control System
This in-line viscosity and temperature-control system features an isolated temperature sensor and a proprietary cooling device (patent pending), which eliminates the need to clean the line and apparatus, saving both time and solvent. Capable of providing <±3°F temperature control between 70° and 110°F, the system can be configured for use with fluids from 1/2 to 3,000 cps. Preventing the ink or fluid from touching the cooling element, the system can improve the blending, mixing and color quality of virtually any fluid. Available with automatic or manual controllers, systems can range from one to ten stations. Applications include inks, coatings, adhesives, lacquers and varnishes.

MXBOC tank-mounted viscosity sensor
The MXBOC tank-mounted viscosity sensor is designed for both water- and solvent-based applications, such as printing inks, glues and adhesives. Suitable for tasks requiring frequent color or coating changes, it operates at atmospheric pressure in tanks that are 7 in. to 26 in. deep. It features a one-bolt mounting mechanism and stainless steel wetted parts that can be removed for cleaning and sterilization without disrupting air or electrical connections. Requiring 40-psi dry air and a 3-way, 24-VDC air valve, the sensor uses the piston time-of-fall method to measure viscosities from 0.1 to 100,000 cP. It is PLC-compatible and CE- and ATEX-compliant.
