Emerson Micro Motion fork viscosity meter

The Micro Motion Fork Viscosity Meter is Emerson’s next generation of the Micro Motion 7827 and 7829 direct insertion viscosity and density meters and is designed to tackle demanding process applications such as oil-fired heater combustion control, HFO blending/production and pump protection.

The fork viscosity meter incorporates a hazardous area approved head-mounted transmitter that has the flexibility to connect to control systems via a wide range of digital and analog protocols. Because it supports 4-20 mA, HART, WirelessHART, FOUNDATION Fieldbus and RS485 Modbus, system integration and commissioning costs are significantly reduced.

An additional benefit of the fork viscosity meter is the capability of accepting and processing external signals from other field instrumentation such as temperature, pressure and mass/volumetric flow devices. The input of these external measurements enables the fork viscosity meter to calculate and output enhanced process measurements while minimising installation and cabling costs.

The fork viscosity meter also incorporates a diagnostic capability called Known Density Verification that checks the meter for measurement alarm conditions, sensor integrity and the presence of coating, erosion or corrosion. This technology expands the availability of diagnostics information in critical viscosity and density measurement applications which can result in significant maintenance costs and cycle time reductions.
