- The rheonics density meter SRD measures viscosity and density by means of a balanced torsional resonator, one end of which is immersed in the fluid under test.
- Density of fluid is measured through the shift in resonant frequency of the resonator.
- The more viscous the fluid, the higher the mechanical damping of the resonator. By measuring the damping, the product of viscosity and density is calculated by rheonics’ proprietary algorithms.
- Density and viscosity of fluid is measured by the rheonics patented sensing and evaluation electronics and stable, high accuracy and repeatable readings are obtained based on rheonics’ proven gated phase-locked loop technology.
Sophisticated, patented 3rd generation electronics drive these sensors and evaluate their response. Ultra-fast and robust electronics, combined with comprehensive computational models, make SRDs one of the fastest and most accurate in the industry. SRD gives real time, accurate density measurements every second and is not affected by flow variations! In addition, you get real-time viscosity measurement of the fluids as well.
