Product catalog summary
Specifications
The document outlines the specifications for the SRV Wide Viscosity Range Inline Process Viscometer. It supports various outputs including analog, digital, wireless, 4-20 mA (3 channel), Modbus RTU (RS-485), Ethernet, USB, and Bluetooth LE 4.0. The device operates within a process fluid temperature range of -40 to 200 °C and an ambient temperature range of -40 to 150 °C. It can handle pressures up to 5,000 psi and is constructed from 316L stainless steel with a diameter of 35 mm and length of 140 mm. The process connection is 3/4" NPT with options for flange and sanitary connections. The device is IP68 rated and uses an M12 (8-pin, A-coded) electrical connection.

Viscosity Measurement
The SRV viscometer measures viscosity using a torsional resonator. It is capable of measuring viscosity in both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids, with a range from 3 to 10,000 cP, extendable to 0.5 to 50,000 cP. The standard accuracy is 5% of reading, with higher accuracy options available. The device is calibrated to NIST traceable viscosity standards.

Applications
The viscometer is suitable for various applications including pump efficiency optimization, viscosity monitoring in fuel conditioning units, heavy oil viscosity control, food manufacturing processes, ink viscosity monitoring, and lubricants viscosity control. It is also used in painting, coating, polymers, and slurries processes.

Operating Principle
The device operates by measuring the damping of a torsional resonator immersed in the fluid. The damping is used to calculate the product of viscosity and density using proprietary algorithms. The resonator is isolated from the fluid in a hermetically sealed capsule.

Mechanical & Electrical
The SRV viscometer features a compact design for easy installation, with options for DIN rail mount and external adapters for Wi-Fi. It is available with various process connections and transmitter housings, including options for rugged displays.

Software & Connectivity
The device supports real-time data acquisition and analysis through an iOS and Android app, with connectivity options including Bluetooth, USB, and Ethernet. It allows for sensor configuration, calibration checks, and firmware upgrades.

Ordering Information
The document provides detailed ordering codes for selecting viscosity range, calibration, electronics, communication, temperature, pressure, and process connection options. Accessories such as sensor cables and mounting brackets are also available.

SRV WIDE VISCOSITY RANGE INLINE PROCESS VISCOMETER-2

WIDE VISCOSITY RANGE INLINE PROCESS VISCOMETER Operating principle The rheonics SRV measures viscosity by means of a torsional resonator, one end of which is immersed in the fluid under test. The more viscous the fluid, the higher the mechanical damping of the resonator. By measuring the damping, the product of viscosity x density may be calculated by rheonics' proprietary algorithms. The resonator is both excited and sensed Low viscosity High viscosity by means of an electromagnetic transducer mounted in the sensor's body. Thanks to rheonics' patented symmetric resonator design, the transducer...
