A simple, sensitive, and rugged tank mounted viscosity sensor for use with water- and solvent-based adhesives, coatings, chemicals, inks, and paints is available from Norcross Corporation of Newton, Massachusetts.

The Norcross MXBO Viscosity Sensor uses the proven “piston time-of-fall” method for measuring viscosities from 0.1 to 100,000 CPS and is PLC compat- ible for use with the firm’s process controllers. Suitable for water- and solvent-based applications with open tanks between 10” and 24” deep, this sensor is unaffected by level or turbulence for high or low mix conditions.

Featuring all stainless steel wetted parts and open rod construction, the Norcross MXBO Viscosity Sensor is easy to clean and works under atmospheric pressure. Capable of detecting the difference in the viscosity of boiling water (0.284 CPS) and ambient water (1.06 CPS), this sensor requires 40 psi dry air, a 3-way 24 VDC air valve, and is furnished with a 2 meter cable.

The Norcross MXBO Viscosity Sensor is priced at $1,875.00 (list) and the firm provides a full range of manual and fully automatic controllers. Literature and pricing are available upon request.
