XL5 Compact Process Viscometer Series

High-Performance Inline Viscosity Measurement for Hygienic Applications

The Hydramotion XL5 Series offers a compact, high-precision inline viscometer ideal for integration in hygienic and industrial processes. With no moving parts and a robust stainless steel design, XL5 viscometers provide real-time viscosity monitoring under challenging process conditions. The XL5 is available in both standard and high-temperature (HT) versions with extended ranges, and can be mounted in any orientation using any process fitting. Certified Ex ‘ia’ for hazardous areas or safe-area only, depending on the model.
