SenGenuity Announces IP67-Rated Threaded Bolt Package for ViSmart Viscosity Sensors
Latest Viscosity Sensor Innovation Increases Ease-of-Installation for Embedded Applications
MUNICH, GERMANY - November 12, 2008 - SenGenuity, the Sensors division of Vectron International, today announced that its ViSmart viscosity sensor is now available with an IP67-rated threaded bolt option. The IP67 rating optimizes the ViSmart sensor for use in applications where ease-ofinstall and integration to host control systems is paramount, such as process control, and expands SenGenuity's reach into oil processing markets. SenGenuity will be showcasing its entire ViSmart viscosity sensor family in Hall B5, Booth 237 at electronica 2008, from November 11 to 14.
SenGenuity's IP67 threaded bolt ViSmart sensor enables a sensor to be completely immersed in fluid, overcoming the limitations of other sensors which could only be immersed from the sensor tip to the threads. This allows designers to fully integrate the sensor in tanks and enclosures. Available in half-inch NPT or half-inch BPT thread configurations, SenGenuity's ViSmart threaded bolt viscosity sensors come equipped with a smart sensor interface, providing for easy installation and seamless integration into a large variety of embedded applications, including diesel gensets, turbines, gearboxes and rotating equipment. This packaging upgrade of the ViSmart viscosity sensor also offers even greater accuracy of temperature measurement, providing customers with and real-time process control information.
SenGenuity's ViSmart viscosity sensor is designed to provide instantaneous sample and/or continuous, real-time, in-process viscosity measurements for applications that require high resolution and accuracy in embedded, in-line environments. The ViSmart viscosity sensor uses robust and reliable semiconductor technology, has no moving parts, and is sealed for complete immersion. It is unaffected by vibration or flow conditions, does not need field calibration and is packaged to be highly portable. The ViSmart sensor measures a wide range of viscosity of fluid and is rated for operation in temperatures up to 125 degrees Celsius. Its threaded bolt package allows for quick installation, and the sensor is available with custom options and configurations for specific industry applications and process requirements.
The ViSmart model series can be connected to any computer or control platform via the standard protocols, SenGenuity's new FluidTrackr(TM) handheld datalogger and the VisConnect(TM) 4-20 mA transmitter to provide a continuous audit trail for process monitoring to control operating costs and maintain quality standards. Additionally, customers can leverage SenGenuity's starter kit bench-top viscometer data station to acquire multiple channels of continuous viscosity and temperature data.
