Aspen Electronics is stocking a solid state viscometer suitable for a wide range of industrial, environmental and process control applications.

Manufactured in the US by the SenGenuity division of Vectron International, the ViSmart, a low shear, threaded bolt viscosity sensor is based on acoustic wave technology, using a quartz crystal wave resonator which is in contact with the liquid. Acoustic viscosity is calculated using power loss from the quartz resonator into the fluid. 

The sensor features a wide dynamic range (air to several thousand cP), offers a wide acoustic viscosity measurement range (0 to 400) and requires only 100 micro-litres of fluid to take a measurement.

Providing instantaneous and continuous real-time in-process relative viscosity measurement, the sensor can be easily integrated into other instrumentation platforms, via the standard USB interface or RS232 / 4-20mA interfaces by using the optional VisConnect analogue/digital communication module.

Unaffected by shock, orientation, flow or vibration conditions, ViSmart is hermetically sealed and completely immersible.  It has an operating temperature range of -25 to 125oC.  No calibration is required.
