White Paper: Solid State Viscometer For Real-Time, On-line And In-line Oil Condition Monitoring

Viscosity control for product quality and process control is a crucial aspect of a wide spectrum in manufacturing operation. As suppliers focus on customer satisfaction and consistency of product, viscosity becomes more important to measure and directly influences cost efficiency and quality in most processes. In the oil condition monitoring industry (which includes machine, contamination and lubrication condition), viscosity measurements is form of monitoring machine condition and has challenged process engineers and quality control departments since it can be affected greatly by physical variables. Viscosity of oil changes because of temperature, load, and as well as due to the oxidation and contamination of the oil during service.
