IECEx certification of intrinsically safe viscometers

19 August 2009

Hydramotion has gained IECEx certification for its extended range of intrinsically safe viscosity measurement instrumentation. The XL7 online viscometer is a rugged instrument that can be used in any fluid under any process conditions. The ViscoJet is a standalone model providing RS485 serial data for direct integration into plant control systems.

IECEx certification of intrinsically safe viscometers

Hydramotion has gained IECEx certification for its extended range of intrinsically safe viscosity measurement instrumentation. The ViscoMelt is specifically designed for installation on the die head of an extruder, enabling the continuous monitoring of product quality in real time. The ReactaVisc and goVisc models are designed for continuous viscosity monitoring in laboratory- or pilot-scale installations.

All Hydramotion viscometers have a single all-welded 316 stainless steel sensor requiring no expensive accessories and with no moving parts, seals or bearings that can wear out or fail in service. Routine maintenance is negligible.

The sensor can be used in any orientation and the online models can be mounted in any location. The digital readout unit can be mounted up to 1000m from the transducer. Outputs include three 4-20 mA analogue signals and a more comprehensive RS485 serial data link.
