Viscosity sensors for the auto and aerospace industry
The automotive and aerospace industries operate under demanding production and performance requirements, where material consistency directly affects safety, durability, and regulatory compliance. Measurement technology must withstand aggressive chemicals, elevated temperatures, and continuous operation while delivering precise, repeatable data that supports both high-volume manufacturing and tightly controlled, certification-driven processes.From paint preparation, e-coating, and spray application to structural adhesive dispensing, sealant application, composite resin infusion, lubricant blending, and hydraulic fluid formulation, inline viscosity measurement stabilises critical process parameters.
In automotive production, real-time viscosity control ensures consistent atomisation, film build, bonding performance, and reduced rework across automated lines. In aerospace manufacturing, precise viscosity control governs resin flow, fiber wet-out, void reduction, and structural integrity in composite systems where material performance is non-negotiable.
Installed directly in pipelines, recirculation loops, mixing vessels, or resin delivery systems, inline viscometers provide continuous measurement at the heart of the process. Robust, chemically resistant construction ensures durability in solvents, oils, thermosets, and polymer systems.
