MEMS USA Announces World's First Real-Time and In-Line Acoustic Viscometer.


LOS ANGELES Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850.  -- MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems) Tiny mechanical devices that are built onto semiconductor chips and are measured in micrometers. In the research labs since the 1980s, MEMS devices began to materialize as commercial products in the mid-1990s.  USA, Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB

See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
: MEMS), a developer and manufacturer of advanced acousto-electronic sensors, fluid metering and blending systems, eco-friendly, reusable particle removal filters fluid purification systems and a provider of related application engineering services, is pleased to announce that it has successfully delivered a "Next Generation" in-line, real time Viscometer viscometer

Instrument for measuring the viscosity (resistance to internal flow) of a fluid. In one type, the time taken for a given volume of fluid to flow through an opening is recorded.
 that accurately measures kinematic viscosity kin·e·mat·ic viscosity
n.
Symbol A measure used in fluid flow studies, usually expressed as the dynamic viscosity divided by the density of the fluid.
.

This product has no moving parts, making it extremely robust for very high on-line reliability. It can easily be mounted directly in flowing process fluids for a wide range of pipe sizes. This new viscometer operates in hostile environments at pressures of up to 25,000 psig and at temperatures of up to 400 degrees F.

High growth industrial manufacturing markets for this enabling product include oil & gas exploration/production, oil refiners, petrochemical processes, pharmaceuticals, paints & coatings, inks, personal care products, industrial lubricants and hydraulic fluids. Today these combined customer industries invest in "Past Generation" viscometer systems worth more than $100,000,000 per year.

MEMS USA's CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. , Daniel K. Moscaritolo, stated: "This breakthrough design (patent applied for) was originally targeted for the oil/gas R&D market, however, testing recently completed at a Southern California certified test lab indicates this product is potentially suitable for the full range of high growth industries."

MEMS USA, Inc. is a California-based professional scientific and technical services company.
