How does Temperature Stabilized Viscosity differ from Temperature Corrected Viscosity?
Our TSV systems control the measurement temperature.. A small slip stream is heated to a set temperature such as 40 or 50 degC [10 degC or more above ambient] using a safe 24 volt resistive heater with built in PID control. It enables continuous laboratory-like measurements at a stable temperature even when the process temperature is poorly controlled. The more common and less accurate Temperature Corrected Viscosity [which we also offer as a standard option] involves a software correction of the measured viscosity based on the difference between the actual temperature and the desired reference temperature. This correction is only as good as your estimate of the temperature-viscosity gradient, so large errors are possible if the actual temperature deviates substantially from the set point temperature.
