Product catalog summary
Overview: The Viscosity Process Analyzer VISC-4 by BARTEC BENKE is designed for the oil and gas industry to optimize and control product quality through continuous measurement of kinematic viscosity using the capillary method. It is particularly suitable for applications such as lube oil production and fuel oil blending.
Specifications: The VISC-4 offers unparalleled temperature stability of ±0.02 K and can handle viscosities up to 1000 cSt at temperatures up to 100°C. It complies with ASTM D445, DIN EN ISO 3104, and IP 71 standards.
Features: Key features include direct and continuous viscosity measurement, integral density measurement, minimized maintenance requirements, multi-stream capability, automatic rinsing and draining, and integrated failure diagnosis. It supports network and fieldbus communication with interfaces like Modbus/RTU and Modbus/TCP.
Technical Data: The analyzer operates with a nominal voltage of 230 VAC and consumes approximately 500 W. It is protected under IP 54 (NEMA 13) and functions within ambient temperatures of 5 to 40°C. The sample quality requires filtration to 10 µm or 50 µm, depending on viscosity.
Utilities: The VISC-4 requires instrument air and coolant, with specific consumption and pressure requirements. It supports various signal outputs and inputs, including analog and digital options.
Explosion Protection: The device is certified for use in hazardous areas with ATEX, NEC, and CEC certifications.
Additional Offerings: BARTEC GROUP also provides Fast Loop Systems, Sample Conditioning Systems, and other related solutions.

Process Analyzer Viscosity Process Analyzer VISC-4 To remain competitive, today’s refiners must employ all optimization and product control techniques available. The use of online physical property analyzers is one of the key features to reach those objectives because they measure important quality properties in the process directly. All fluids that fulfil the conditions of Newton’s friction law are referred to as Newtonian fluids. Their viscosity is a material constant, which is only dependent on pressure and temperature. The viscosity for incompressible and Newtonian fluids can be derived from...
