INVI - PROCESS INSERTION VISCOMETER-1

INVI PROCESS INSERTION VISCOMETER EASY INSTALLATION ON STANDARD FLANGE SENSOR TYPICAL APPLICATION FIELDS Chemical: polymers, resins, gels Based on Sofraser’s vibrating type measuring principle, the INVI is the compact sensor to be installed on small size nozzles and expands the mounting possibilities of Sofraser viscometers. The INVI can be used on many viscous fluids, process applications and quality control conditions and deliver a reliable viscosity information for an optimal process monitoring or control. Printing and coating: inks, paints, lacquers, varnishes Nozzle installation: The INVI sensor is especially designed to fit with nozzles already in place on the process line. No adaptation is required as it can be customized to be installed on any kind of flanges from 1’’1/2 to 2’’1/2 or larger, on reactors or pipes. Refineries: diesel, gasoline, heavy fuel, bitumen Dynamic viscosity and temperature: Both viscosity and temperature are measured instantaneously and continuously at the heart of the process thanks to the customizable insertion length. Improved process operations: Reliable, repeatable and continuous measurements combined with superior quality result in permanent production efficiency and increased profitability. Simple and long-lasting: The INVI viscometer guarantees a rapid return on investment because it is easy to install and is easy to use. With non-wearing parts, the INVI requires almost no maintenance. The All-in-One Solution: Available with remote electronics, the INVI sensor can be matched with all models of Sofraser electronics and HMI processors. In its embedded electronics versions, with or without display, the INVI provides an All in-One solution. The embedded electronics drives the sensor and computes the raw data in order to provide viscosity and temperature information through its two current outputs or its RS485 port.
