FlowScan™ Drilling Fluid Loop

Real-time, non-invasive rheology for in-line and on-line (process control) applications. (Much more than a Rheometer)

FlowScan™ Advantages:

• FlowScan™ provides the relationship between shear rate and shear stress for any fluid On-line:
  • Newtonian fluids
  • Non-Newtonian fluids
  • Complex fluids with or without particles
• Robust, accurate, repeatable, real-time remote sensing stream analysis
• Consistent and accurate quantitative results
  
• Zero fluid interference
• Enhanced process optimization
• Production quality consistency
• Research
• Automated sample handling – liquid flows directly through FlowScan
• No maintenance or wear-and-tear
• No moving parts, no cleaning
