Sensor detects fluid properties

By Paul Dvorak | November 24, 2009

Contelec posn sensorThe FPS2800B12C4 is a fluid property sensor that directly and simultaneously measures viscosity, density, dielectric constant, and temperature of a fluid. The sensor, from Visyx Technologies Inc, Freemont, Calif., monitors the direct and dynamic relationship between several physical properties to determine the quality, condition, and contaminant loading of fluids such as hydraulic and gear oils, and other in applications that include wind turbines and industrial equipment. A universal digital CAN J1939 compliant protocol provides easy to connect interface to a main host controller. A simple 4 pin connector allows for cost-effective mounting options. A few other features include a:

  • Rugged construction for high pressure and high-flow environments
  • Proprietary corrosion and contaminant resistant coating for wetted parts
  • Factory calibrated with NIST traceable fluids
  • On-board microprocessor for real-time data analysis with 5, 12, or 24-V supply
  • Reliable with long-term stabilityFPS2800 table

    Hello,
    I would like to know more about yours fluid property sensor (FPS2800B12C4). I’m especially interested in;
    1.maximum allowed pressure and temperature for the sensors immersed part (tuning fork)
    2.electronics board interface (Can bus, RS-232), its resistivity against high temperature and size of PCB
    3.price/delivery time for senor and necessary electronics inclusive calibration of density/viscosity/permittivity & temperature
    4. Is the sensor approved for use in zone 1 (ATEX/Ex)?

    Kind Regards

    Michal Czudowski
