Hydramotion - Model XL5 -Compact Viscometer

Maintaining durability and ease of use in an instrument half the size of an XL7 has been the design priority. It's tough, and able to tolerate the harshest process conditions including intense pressure.

The trademark immunity to plant and installation effects is all there. And the high integrity connector provides hookup in a snap.

The all-welded solid sensor has an open construction for easy cleaning and to eliminate contaminant traps. Welds are smooth and crevice-free and sensor surface finishes to Ra < 0.4 µm.

All XL5 inline viscosity meters are supplied with process fittings to match the connections that already exist on your equipment. This includes any size or type of sanitary fitting, including quick-release tri-clamp mountings, RJT, IDF, DIN, SMS, Varivent® and others.

Every XL5 viscometer is available as an Intrinsically Safe (IS) version suitable for Div1 Class 1 Group A in North America in compliance with: 

ATEX  Directive 2014/34/EU
IECEx
Certified to: 

Ex ia IIC T1…T6 Ga
Ex ia IIIC T₂₀₀ 135°C Da (dust certification)

IS certification permits a simpler installation than flameproof. The Ex ‘ia’ certificate allows transducers to be operated even in the most hazardous Zone 0 environments.

And because all signals between sensor and safe area are digital, connection between the two is simple, allowing long cable runs and only a single safety barrier.
