TT - 100 In_Line Viscometer

Product Description

The TT-100® In-Line Viscometer is designed to provide years of trouble-free service in closed loop systems which require constant monitoring and associated control of product viscosity.

Features And Benefits

• Continuous measurement eliminates need for "Grab" sampling and allows for prediction and constant control of final product properties
• Concentric cylinder geometry (Couette type) provides viscosity measurements at defined shear conditions
• Defined shear means agreement with Brookfield Laboratory measurements at equivalent shear rates
• Constant or variable speed motors available
• 4-20 mA output signal provides a variety of display and control capabilities
• Capable of a wide range of pressures, temperatures, viscosities, flow and shear rates
• Measurement "Zone" is protected from main flow, allowing accurate, repeatable measurement under variable conditions
• Mounts in-line supported by connections: Available in 1", 1½", 2", or 4" pipeline connections; sanitary, threaded or flanged
• Easy to check and maintain calibration
• Can be operated at shear rates of 511 sec-1 as required by the Standards of the American Petroleum Institute (API)

AST -100 Advanced Technology

Product Description The AST-100 is the world's most innovative means of viscosity control. The AST-100 is a versatile instrument that is excellent for customers who are looking for viscosity control (i.e. maintaining the viscosity of the product) in their process more than the measurement of an exact number (ex. 23.5cP). It is easy to install, cleans-in-place, and has no moving parts, so maintenance is minimal. With available options it is suitable for explosion-proof applications or 3A food-grade applications as well. Features And Benefits No moving parts to wear, bind or contact process materials Simple Clean-In-Place design Rugged 316 SS construction Continuous, reliable 4-20 mA output Saves you money while increasing your production Easy installation Digital display Specifications Viscosity Range: 2 - 3000 (cP or equivalent cup-seconds) Temperature Range: -20°C - +120°C Repeatability/Stability: ±1% of the Reading Outputs: 4 - 20 mA RS-232 RS-485 Connections: 1″ NPT inlet/outlet Accessories AST-300SY Single Station Controller AST-400SY Multi-Station Controller Controller Mounting Brackets Solenoid Control Valve for direct in-line viscosity measurement PROCESS VISCOSITY CONTROLLERS The new AST-300SY Single Station Viscosity Controller and AST-400SY Multi-Station Viscosity Controller are designed for use with Brookfield AST-100 Systems to accurately measure and control viscosity. Precise, programmable, on/off dosing control Intuitive screen layout Quick selection of setup and menu items At-a-glance set point and alarm status Displays viscosity in cP, mPa•s, cSt or cup-seconds, current pH value a temperature in °C or °F Viscosity and pH data trending pH and pump interlock Multi-level password protection Viscosity high/low alarms AST-300SY Single Station Controller The AST-300SY Single Station Controller is designed for use with the Brookfield AST-100TSY as part of the viscosity control system to measure viscosity and temperature, interlock with other process devices, and accurately control the viscosity of your product in a variety of industrial applications. AST-400SY Multi-Station Controller The AST-400SY Multi-Station Controller is designed for use with up to ten Brookfield AST-100TSY viscosity control units as part of a multi-product viscosity control system. The system will measure viscosity and temperature, interlock with other process devices, and accurately control the viscosity of your products in a variety of industrial applications. Options Explosion Proof Explosion-proof with FM and Atex approval Sanitary with APV housing and 3A approval pH control for printing applications. Flange Mount Flange mount designs are available to allow for direct mounting onto a process tank through a sidewall flange. Probe Style Probe Style mount designs allow for insertions into tanks from above. Applications Low Viscosity Adhesives, solvent based Chemicals Coatings Inks, water based Oils Paints and Latex   Medium Viscosity Adhesives, hot melt Food Products Inks, screen printing Paper Coatings and Pulp
