Patent ID: 12013325

Abstract:
A viscosity measurement system and method of fabrication thereof, the system comprising a measuring element and a housing, the measuring element comprising a base and a counterweight, forced oscillation generating means, a tube, and a rod; the base, the counterweight and the forced oscillation means being sealed in the housing; the tube extending out of the housing through an opening in a bottom wall of the housing; the forced oscillation generating means being connected to an electric board secured to a top wall of the housing opposite the bottom wall for excitation of the rod; and the rod extending within the tube and immerging of the housing for immersion, at least in part, in a fluid to be measured, wherein the counterweight is distant from the top wall and from lateral walls of the housing, and the base is supported by the bottom wall of the housing in such a way to simultaneously provide a rigid attachment on an outer circumference of the bottom wall and on a circumference of the opening in the bottom wall, and a flexible dampening attachment on a remaining interface between a bottom surface of the base of the measuring element and an upper surface of the bottom wall of the housing.
