New generation of field-proven on-line viscometer

Capable of measuring any fluid in any process, the high-performance XL7 is one of the most robust and adaptable
viscometers on the market. Ready for use straight out of the box, the XL7 provides continuous real-time viscosity
measurement with high resolution, excellent repeatability and virtually unlimited range. Any XL7 model can be supplied in an intrinsically safe version ATEX / IEC certified to Ga Ex ia IIC T6, suitable for all Hazardous Areas up to and including Zone 0 (explosive atmosphere continuously present), equivalent to Class 1 Division 1 Group A.
The XL7 can be installed directly on a pipeline or tank at any location and in any orientation using any process fitting, with no need for any ancillary pipework. The latest high-temperature HT2 model can be used at up to 450 degrees C (842 degrees F) without any special cooling. High-pressure models are also available.
The instrument requires no on-site calibration, and as there are no moving parts, maintenance is negligible. No spares or accessories are required. Measurements are unaffected by variations in flow rate or by the presence of suspended solids or gases. The sensor naturally rejects typical plant vibration frequencies, which gives a very high output stability even in extremely noisy environments.
With such a combination of toughness and resilience the XL7 is the viscometer of choice for any process, no matter how harsh or aggressive the measurement conditions.
The associated VP550 readout unit can accept a range of inputs including temperature and density. Outputs include three user-selectable 4-20mA analogue signals, all fully configurable, an RS485 serial data link and an optional USB port for direct connection to a PC or laptop.
Simple to hook up and use, the combination of XL7 transducer and VP550 readout unit gives a reliable, easy-to-use and durable viscosity measurement system with an unbeatably low cost of ownership.
