Technical summary
Description of main components, capillary, pump, transducers and operating modes of the ViscoSensor system for online rheological measurement.
Typical applications
- Viscosity or melt-flow monitoring in extrusion lines.
- Material stability analysis during continuous production.
- Quality control in compounds, recycled materials or process-sensitive polymers.
Key points
Measurement capillary
Material flows through a known geometry to obtain a signal related to viscosity.
Transducers
Differential pressure enables rheological behavior estimation under controlled conditions.
Industrial operation
Designed to work alongside production lines and data logging systems.
Recommended inquiry data
- Type of extruder or line.
- Polymer, filler, additives or recycled material.
- Process temperature and pressure.
- Expected viscosity or MFR range.
- Cleaning, bypass or panel-integration requirements.
