April 17, 2007 - A highly sensitive viscosity sensor that includes a reactor connection and is designed for end-point polymerization in pressurized or vacuum vessels has been introduced by Norcross Corporation of Newton, Massachusetts.The Norcross M10 Viscosity Sensor uses the proven “piston time-of-fall” method for measuring viscosities from 0.1 to 100,000 CPS, operates from vacuum to 100 psi, and has a 2” 150# ASA mounting flange.
A suitable replacement for manual viscosity measurement techniques, it can be used in conjunction with a PLC to provide automatic sampling and process control.Featuring all 316 stainless steel wetted parts, the Norcross M10 Viscosity Sensor can be equipped with 12 different size piston rods for installation in tanks from 12” up to 144”. deep.
Designed for suspensions or solutions, this highly sensitive sensor is capable of detecting the difference in the viscosity of boiling water (0.294 CPS) and ambient water (1.06 CPS).The Norcross M10 Viscosity Sensor is priced from $5,995.00 (list), depend-ing upon the length of the piston rod assembly.
