    TT100 In-Line Viscometer Installation, Operation, Maintenance and Service Instructions Theory of Operation The product stream flows through the inlet into the TT100 In-Line Viscometer measuring chamber, as shown in Figure 1-3, where it pushes against a cylinder or rotor driven by a drive motor. The rotation of the rotor causes a gentle pumping action forcing the product to flow into the measuring annulus between the rotor and the stator.
