VTA-120™

Description

•  The VTA-120 includes viscosity indication and control in one complete package and is widely used on line in the printing and coatings
industries for automatic addition of solvents.
•  The Viscosel is a pneumatic viscosity indicator for inexpensive viscosity control in explosion proof environments.

  Features and Benefits
•  Convenient & Inexpensive
–  Viscosity measurement and control combined in one compact package that mounts easily to process equipment on the production floor.
–  Operating method uses the well-accepted coaxial cylinder principle of viscosity measurement.
•  Easy to Clean
–  Only the measuring cylinder and sample chamber come in contact with the sample.
–  They can be easily cleaned or – if necessary – replaced without re-calibration.
•  Easy to Change Range
–  Measuring cylinders hook on and off easily, without tools and without need to adjust the instrument.
•  Easy-to-read Viscosity Indication
–  The easily read set point mark and viscosity indicator are in parallel when the instrument is on control, making possible a quick visual check, even from a distance.
•  Finely Modulated Control
–  The Viscosel^® system offers on/off pneumatic control with 1% throttling action.
–  Whether working with inks, coatings or lacquers, the instrument maintains constant viscosity by controlled solvent addition.
–  The viscometer is also available as a transducer only.
•  Measures In-line
–  Eliminates time constraints associated with viscosity analysis of grab samples in the laboratory; provides early detection and correction of in-process
deviations from desired set points.
•  Quality Control
–  Decreases raw material and product waste; maintains control of desirable product qualities (coating thickness, ink printability, % solids, etc.)
•  Responsive
–  The Viscosel^®‘s sensitive response and automatic operation assures continuous conditioning of fluid.nstant control of final product properties
•  Safe Pneumatic Operation
–  The Viscosel^® and its drive, the indicator/controller and the valve for solvent addition are all pneumatically operated, without complex electronic circuits.
•  Standard or Custom Mounting
–  Using the standard mount, the Viscosel^® can be moved wherever and whenever required. Custom bracket, cart, and tank mounts are available
•   ±1% Accuracy Full Scale
–  The Viscosel^® is guaranteed to be accurate within ±1% of the range in use and reproducible to ±0.5% of full scale range.
