Features And Benefits:

• Convenient & Inexpensive

• Viscosity measurement and control combined in one compact package that mounts easily to process equipment on the production floor. Operating method uses the well-accepted coaxial cylinder principle of viscosity measurement.
• Responsive

• The Viscosel®'s sensitive response and automatic operation assures continuous conditioning of fluid.
• Measures In-line

• Eliminates time constraints associated with viscosity analysis of grab samples in the laboratory; provides early detection and correction of in-process deviations from desired set points.
• Quality Control

• Decreases raw material and product waste; maintains control of desirable product qualities (coating thickness, ink printability, % solids, etc.)
• Easy to clean

• Only the measuring cylinder and sample chamber come in contact with the sample. They can be easily cleaned or - if necessary - replaced without re-calibration.
• Easy to Change Range

• Measuring cylinders hook on and off easily, without tools and without need to adjust the instrument.
• Standard or Custom Mounting

• Using the standard mount, the Viscosel® can be moved wherever and whenever required. Custom bracket, cart, and tank mounts are available
• ±1% accuracy full scale

• The Viscosel® is guaranteed to be accurate within ±1% of the range in use and reproducible to ±0.5% of full scale range.
• Easy-to-read viscosity indication

• The easily read set point mark and viscosity indicator are in parallel when the instrument is on control, making possible a quick visual check, even from a distance.
• Safe pneumatic operation

• The Viscosel® and its drive, the indicator/controller and the valve for solvent addition are all pneumatically operated, without complex electronic circuits.
• Finely modulated control

• The Viscosel® system offers on/off pneumatic control with 1% throttling action. Whether working with inks, coatings or lacquers, the instrument maintains constant viscosity by controlled solvent addition. The viscometer is also available as a transducer only.

Specifications:

• Range: 0-35 cP min 0-2000 cP max
• Output: 0-15 psig to solvent valve; 3-15 psig linear signal proportional to viscosity to receiver gauge and optional recorder
• Input Air: 20-22 psig regulated input; 3 scfm consumption max.
• Flow: Sample chamber requires 1 gpm max.

About Brookfield Engineering Laboratories:

Brookfield Engineering Laboratories has long been considered the World Standard in Viscosity Measurement and Control. From the original Synchro-electric Viscometer to today's sophisticated DV-III Ultra Rheometer, the Brookfield name is synonymous with quality, dependability and reliability. In recent years, we have added the addition of texture analysis equipment to our line of products. This axial testing capability enhances Brookfield's existing product line by providing more flexibility in solving the rheological and texture measurement needs of our customers.
