Viscometer for process control in production or use of liquids and pastes of any kind

The CONVIMETER® is a viscometer that enables process control in the production or use of liquids and pastes of all kinds. It`s an important tool for quality control.
- For newtonian as well as shear thinning (non-Newtonian) substances
- No bearings or dynamic seals in contact with the medium
- Recognised in the industry for over 50 years and proven thousands of times
The substance behaviour is not only recorded at an interface, but is determined over a macroscopic range in order to identify the behaviour of the overall structure of the medium.
Why CONVIMETER as a process viscometer?
- Process viscometer – for online measurement, control and regulation
- Protection classes – available for different production environments
- Measuring range – 5 – 107 mPas for both newtonian and shear thinning fluids
CONVIMETER Application areas
The CONVIMETER® is used in a wide variety of industrial production processes – to measure viscosity as a quality-relevant product parameter or as a measured variable for process control. The success of the system is documented in over 1400 applications in the field of- Chemistry
- Petrochemicals
- food industry
- Paper production
- Bodycare industry
CONVIMETER functions
- Automatic measuring range adjustment
- Automatic zero point adjustment, which also takes into account the temperature influence on the zero point
- Temperature compensation of the viscosity display
CONVIMETER Measuring method
The measurement is carried out by large volume shear at small shear rates, which allows a reliable differentiation of the rheological differences. The tumbling movement of the measuring body in the protective tube creates a pumping effect which ensures rapid substance exchange. Disturbing influences of granular particles as well as hardening processes are strongly suppressed, magnetic particles do not influence the measuring procedure.
