Online viscosity measuring method using Coriolis mass flow systems.

Author(s) : FREI B., BOECKLIN J.

Summary

Coriolis mass flow measurement systems enable simultaneous measurement of the mass flow, density and temperature of ice slurry using a single device. In a newer development, the measuring capability of a single tube type of such an instrument has been enhanced. Besides the determination of the mentioned quantities it is now also possible to measure the viscosity online. Such measurements were performed up to an ice fraction of 35%. A viscosity calculation was performed using a correlation provided by the manufacturer. The viscosities obtained by the two different methods are in good agreement. Deviations are within plus or minus 10% error.
