Immersion-Type Process Viscometer PV100-TM64
The process viscometer PV100-TM64 works on the principle of a rotational viscometer
with coaxial cylinder systeme.
Its basic components are a measuring head and a continuous-flow measuring
unit connected by a flange sleeve. The measuring
head holds the drive unit, which is either a controllable d.c. motor or a
synchronous motor, as well as the torque sensor und the
electronics producing the measuring signal.
The rotation is transmitted from the measuring head over a connecting
shaft to the permanent-magnet coupling, which is located in
the pressure-resistant measuring sleeve. The magnetic field
transfers the torque through the thin-walled measuring sleeve onto the
rotating measuring bob. This mesuring bob is enclosed by the measuring
cup. In the measuring sleeve and in the measuring cup,
the measuring bob is held in low-friction pin supports.
Measuring sleeve, measuring bob and measuring cup form a coaxial double gap
cylinder system.
Due to a specific design, part of the substance flow is continuously led
through the measuring gap of the cylinder system. The viscosity-proportional
torque occurring on the measuring bob is measured in the measuring head
and converted into an electric standard current signal 4...20 mA, which
can be used for display and as a control signal.
The immersion measuring device is designed for use with open containers
or closed vessels up to high operating pressures. The immersion depth of
measuring system is variable within wide limits by the length of the flange sleeve.
The process viscometer can be completed with an electronic unit for
more functions of instrument control, signal processing, as well
as temperature adjustment of viscosity.
