The Viscosensor is said to be the world's smallest in-line polymer melt rheology instrument, measuring 635mm (25in) in length and 254mm (10in) in width.
The Viscosensor's zero-discharge system returns the polymer back to the process, eliminating material waste.
It can be used to generate shear rate versus viscosity data or as a continuous ASTM melt-control tool that can be used for product quality and consistency.
Features: attaches to the process using a standard M18 port; online viscosity or melt index monitoring; no waste stream; Online ASTM D1238 melt flow rate, apparent viscosity and shear rate available; capillary is easy to replace.
