A micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) based sensor is proposed for measuring the viscosity and density of oil. Sensor attributes, which include small sample size (
Benefit: This sensor could be used in a handheld test meter for periodic condition mornitoring (CM) or as a feedback instrument for online process control (OPC). BioScale has commercial contacts for this device in the markets of semiconductor fabrication, merchant marine fleet maintenance, agriculture and forestry equipment manufacturing, food production, aircraft manufacturing, and motorcycle manufacturing.
