Process Viscometer KV100-F
The continuous-flow process viscometer KV100-F works on the principle of
a Capillary Viscometer with continual volume flow
and measurement of pressure decrease over the measuring capillary.
Its basic components are the driving head and the flow measuring device
connected by a spacer tube. The driving head holds a synchronous motor
with change gear. The immersion-type measuring unit holds a gear pump, the
intake fitting and the exchangeable measuring capillary, as well as
ducts for the supply of the process pressure and for the transport
of overpressure from the entrance of the measuring capillary to the
connections of pressure transducers.
The gear pump, which is driven by the driving head through a shaft via magnetic
coupling at constant speed, continually takes a
constant volume flow from the process medium and feeds it through the measuring
capillary as a steady flow.
The pressure decrease between the two ends of the measuring capillary, which is
proportional to viscosity, is determined by two
pressure transducers P1 and P2. The signal transducer transforms the measuring
signal into standard electrical signals 0...10 V.
It can be used for display and as a control signal.
Screwed to the measuring device is a flow cell, which encloses the aspiration tube,
measuring capillary and pump housing. So
these parts are directly in the process medium positioned and temperature-controlled
by this.
The flow measuring device is designed for use in the main or the secondary
flow with low operating pressures. The inlet of the aspiration tube is always
located within the representative substance flow.
