A patented viscosity sensor that operates directly in the main feed line, is unaffected by flow rate or pressure, and requires no special piping or cleaning has been introduced by Norcross Corporation of Newton, MA, U.S.A.

The Norcross M50 Viscosity Sensor installs directly in the main feed line and operates on the piston “time-of-fall” principle to detect changes in the viscosity of liquids such as adhesives, coatings, and inks. Eliminating bypass installation, it can hold viscosity within 0.1 cps, is not affected by flow rate or pressure, and needs no special piping or cleaning cycles.

Capable of detecting changes in viscosity between hot and cold water, the Norcross M50 Viscosity Sensor operates from 0.1 - 2,000 cps viscosity range at 5 GPM (20 LPM) flow, and pressure to 20 PSI (1.4 bar). All wetted parts are stainless steel, Delrin®, and Teflon® and 3/4"-14 NPT or BSPP connections are offered. This sensor is instrinsically-safe and ATEX exempt per TuV.

The Norcross M50 Viscosity Sensor sells for [US] $ 4,250.00 (list). Literature is available upon request.
