MARIMEX® ViscoScope® VA-100

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and applications for the MARIMEX® ViscoScope® VA-100, a process viscometer designed for real-time measurement of liquid viscosity. It is maintenance-free and suitable for various industries including chemicals, petrochemicals, food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
Technical Specifications:
  • Sensor Types: Cylinder (C) and Sphere (B).
  • Probe Dimensions: C: Ø 32 x 145 mm, B: Ø 32 x 120 mm.
  • Material: 1.4571 / 1.4404 (316 Ti / 316L).
  • Protection Class: IP65.
  • Process Connection: NPT thread, Special flange, Varivent®, Tri-Clamp.
  • Cable Length: Max. 1,000 metres.
  • Reproducibility: C: ± 0.3% or ±1 Digit, B: ±0.5% or ±1 Digit.
  • Accuracy: ±2% or ±1 Digit.
  • Ex-area (optional): II 1/2G Ex ia IIC T6…T3 Ga/Gb.
  • Operating Conditions: Temperature: -10…+130 °C, Pressure: Vacuum up to 64 bar, Flow velocity: up to 5 m/s.
  • Measuring Ranges: C: 0.1…2,500 mPa·s x g/cm³, B: 10…25,000 mPa·s x g/cm³.
Functionality: The sensor operates by exciting the sensor at its resonant frequency to oscillate in low amplitude torsion. A PID controller maintains constant amplitude, with voltage changes indicating viscosity levels. The design prevents material fatigue and ensures no parts misalign or wear out.
Applications:
  • Continuous and batch processes.
  • Optimizing mixing processes.
  • Adding solvents to coating systems.
  • Controlling medium temperature for constant viscosity.
Installation: The sensor can be installed in tanks, pipelines, and flow cells, with position-independent installation. It supports dead space-free installation and is CIP/SIP capable.
Dimensional Drawing: Provides detailed dimensions for various process connections and installation setups.

A Pt100 integrated in the sensor simultaneously measures the process temperature. The ViscoScope® system is factory calibrated with certified Newton calibration oils. The sensor is available in two probe versions. There is a choice of NPT threads and Special flange or hygienic fittings. Standardised or specially developed flow cells also allow installations in pipelines with small cross-sections. Functionality The ViscoScope® sensor probe is fully welded so that no moving parts come into contact with the fluid being measured. Electric coils excite the sensor at its resonant frequency to oscillate in low amplitude torsion.There is a fast PID controller in the transmitter which keeps the amplitude constant, i.e. the higher the viscosity becomes, the greater the voltage, which is a measure of the dynamic viscosity in mPa-s x g/cm3 (η x ρ). The low amplitude at resonance frequency prevents material fatigue so that no parts can misalign or wear out. Measuring ranges Viscosity range in mPa·s x g/cm³ Sensor + Control GmbH & Co.
