The ViscoSensor Online Rheometer – An Effective Solution for Online Viscosity

Experience the benefits of online rheology measurement.

The ViscoSensor from Dynsico​ is specifically engineered for the thermoplastics resin industry. It provides continuous measurements of the apparent viscosity or melt flow rate directly during the manufacturing process.

The ViscoSensor system comprises of two parts; a Viscosensor Rheologic Sensing Unit (RSU) and a Rheologic Control Unit. The Viscosensor Rheologic Sensing Unit is connected directly to the process. The Rheologic Control Unit controls the Viscosensor test parameters (such as pressure, temperature, and rate), provides outputs of computed results, and offers communications to an external distributed control system when needed.

There are two versions of the control unit available:

RCU: Combines the rheological properties of a Laboratory Capillary Rheometer with the MFI readings of a Melf Flow Indexer

e-RCU: Supplies simplified rehological data for processors

With the ViscoSensor, reliable results can be achieved with the continuous monitoring of material properties.

Features and Benefits
