1.1 Safety guidelines
Handle the 7829 Viscomaster
®
/ Viscomaster Dynamic
™
viscosity meter with great care.
• Do not drop the meter.
• Do not use liquids incompatible with materials of construction.
• Do not operate the meter above its rated pressure or maximum temperature.
• Do not pressure test beyond the specified test pressure.
• Ensure all explosion-proof requirements have been applied.
• Ensure the meter and associated pipework are pressure tested to 1-1/2 times the maximum
operating pressure after installation.
• Always store and transport the meter in its original packaging, including the transit cover
secured by grub screws.
• To return a meter, refer to the Return Policy appendix for more information on the Micro
Motion return policy.
Safety messages are provided throughout this manual to protect personnel and equipment. Read each
safety message carefully before proceeding to the next step.
1.2 About the meter
1.2.1 What is it?
The 7829 Viscomaster
®
/ Viscomaster Dynamic
™
viscosity meter is a digital viscosity meter, based on
the proven tuning fork technology of Micro Motion. It is an all-welded sensor designed to be mounted
directly into a pipeline or in a tank. Viscosity and density are determined from the resonance of the
tuning fork immersed in the fluid, and a temperature sensor (RTD) is also fitted within the meter.
The meter is available in a 316 stainless steel, and the immersed tines can be laminated with PFA to
inhibit the build up of residues such as asphaltenes.
The meter contains integral processing electronics to provide full configuration, enabling it to perform
a variety of calculations.
