RheoStream^® FC is CE compliant according to

– EU machinery directive (MD – 2006/42/EC)

– EMC directive (2014/30/EU)

– RoHS directive (2011/65/EU)

Sample inlet maximum tube length 140 mm.
Sample inlet to RheoStream must be placed ± 30 mm horizontally and vertically from process connection.
A free space of 1 m must be clear in front of the instrument to allow for on-site service.

A suitable rack is made by the customer to support RheoStream.
A stainless-steel weld-on plate with M6 thread to fit the vibration dampening base is supplied by Fluidan

Vertically mounted process connection valve with copper washer and weld-in fitting connected to Fluidan specification.
0 – 3 barg at process connection (Depending on viscosity).

If cleaning liquid is solvent based or contains additives:
Connect to Solvent IN: 1 – 3 barg push-in fitting Ø4 mm

If cleaning liquid is water (wo. solvents or additives):
Connect to Water IN (same as cooling water). 1-6 barg push-in fitting Ø6 mm

Connect to Water IN: 1 – 6 barg water; push-in fitting Ø6 mm

Waste collection system required for sample/cleaning liquid & cooling water

Communication with the instrument through ethernet RJ-45 connection to any system operating an internet browser.

WebGUI on PC/Tablet via ethernet cable.

For automation purposes RheoStream can be interfaced to a Factory Control System either using OPC-UA over Ethernet or via analog/ digital wires using a PLC.

IoT: To provide remote trouble shooting & support, Fluidan requires an internet connection (e.g., a mobile internet connection).

RheoStream instruments are programmed to match individual customer needs. Some of the technical specifications will be adapted.
