FMXTS Transmitter Ametek Brookfield FMXTS101A2A1XX
The AMETEK Brookfield FAST Viscometer is engineered for high-performance viscosity control in the most challenging industrial environments, including printing, coating, adhesive, and food-grade operations. With its innovative design, this viscometer provides accurate, real-time viscosity monitoring without the need for maintenance, ensuring consistent product quality and process efficiency.
Unlike conventional systems, the FAST Viscometer features a unique, high-frequency micro-rotational sensor that has no moving parts and is unaffected by external vibrations. This makes it exceptionally durable, stable, and precise – even in environments where traditional viscometers fail.
