Rheonics

Rheonics is a Swiss precision instrumentation company specializing in inline process density and viscosity monitoring and control solutions. Designed and manufactured in Switzerland, their sensor technologies serve a broad range of industrial applications requiring real-time, accurate fluid characterization under demanding process conditions. The company's product portfolio includes inline viscometers, density meters, and combined density-viscosity-temperature instruments, available in probe and flow-through configurations suitable for installation in tanks, process lines, and reactors.

The core product lineup includes the SRV, a wide-range inline process viscometer with compact form factor capable of operating up to 1500 bar and 285°C; the SRD, which simultaneously measures process density, specific gravity, viscosity, and temperature in a single instrument; the DVP, offering ultra-high accuracy simultaneous density and viscosity metering including gas phase measurement up to 1000 bar and 200°C; and the DVM, a high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) instrument engineered for reservoir conditions up to 30,000 psi and 400°F, designed for PVT analysis in oil and gas applications. All instruments feature all-metal construction, predominantly 316L stainless steel or full titanium, and are engineered to withstand high shock, vibration, abrasives, and aggressive chemical environments.

Rheonics also offers the RPS InkSight, a multi-station ink viscosity control system that won the 2021 FTA Technical Innovation Award, targeting the flexographic printing and packaging converting industries. This system delivers tight viscosity control for color consistency across print jobs.

The company's solutions are Industry 4.0 ready, supporting seamless integration with PLCs and IPCs from leading vendors including Siemens, B&R, ABB, Rockwell, Delta V, Beckhoff, Schneider, and Emerson. Connectivity options include 4-20mA, Ethernet TCP/IP, Modbus TCP/RTU, Fieldbus, EtherNet/IP, Bluetooth LTE 4.0, Wi-Fi, and cloud APIs for Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. On-board embedded intelligence features a real-time operating system, fail-safe operation, and an AI engine capable of autonomous Level 5 process control and decision-making.

Markets served include oil and gas (downhole and PVT analysis), automotive, battery and energy storage manufacturing, printing and packaging, and general chemical and process industries. Their sensors enable automation of process fluid viscosity control, reducing operator contact with hazardous fluids and eliminating excess material and energy consumption through optimized dosing.
