I-viscometer eku-inthanethi edlidlizayo iyithuluzi lokuhlaziya eliku-inthanethi elakhelwe ukulinganisa kwesikhathi sangempela se-viscosity endaweni yenqubo. Ithatha into eyi-cylindrical ene-tapered, futhi kumafrikhwensi athile, iyajikeleza futhi i-oscillate ihambisane nendawo yayo ye-radial. Inzwa iyisiyingi esiyindilinga, lapho uketshezi lugeleza phezu kwenzwa. Lapho i-probe igunda uketshezi, ilahlekelwa amandla ngenxa yokuguqulwa kokumelana ne-viscosity, okutholwa yi-electronic circuit. Iguqulelwe yi-processor ibe ukufundwa kwe-viscosity ebonakalayo. Ithuluzi lingakwazi ukukala imidiya ngama-viscosity ahlukene ngokushintsha ukuma kwe-sensor element, ngakho-ke inohlu olubanzi lokulinganisa i-viscosity. Ngenxa yokuthi ukugunda koketshezi kufinyelelwa ngokudlidliza, azikho izingxenye ezihambisanayo ezihambayo, izimpawu nama-bearings, futhi kuyisakhiwo esivalwe ngokugcwele esikwazi ukumelana nokucindezela. Ingasetshenziswa kabanzi esilinganisweni esinembile se-viscosity ezindaweni zezimboni nasemalabhorethri. Ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezidingo zabasebenzisi ngabanye, kungagcini ekufakweni nasekuguqulweni kwamapayipi amakhemikhali, iziqukathi, nama-reactor anezimbobo eziseceleni noma izimbobo eziphezulu, ukuze kuxazululwe inkinga yokuthi ibanga ukusuka endaweni ewuketshezi likude, inkampani ithuthukise izakhiwo zokufaka ezihlukene kanye nokufakwa kwe-inthanethi okunokujula okuhlukile kokufaka. I-viscometer ingafakwa ngokuqondile endaweni ewuketshezi phezulu, imvamisa isuka ku-500mm iye ku-4000mm, inobubanzi bokufaka obungu-80mm, futhi ingafakwa i-DN100 flange, esetshenziselwa ukulinganisa ku-inthanethi nokulawula i-viscosity engu-0 i-reactor.
