What statement is true concerning the arrangement and operation of the viscosity transmitter as used for indicating the viscosity of heavy fuel oil?

🔍 Key Concepts

• How viscosity of heavy fuel oil is actually measured on board (what physical property is sensed?) • Difference between pressure-based and temperature-based sensing methods in a flowing capillary tube • Role of a differential transmitter versus a single-point transmitter

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: In a heated capillary tube, what changes when thicker (more viscous) fuel flows through it at a constant flow rate? Pressure, temperature, or both? • If you were designing a system to detect how hard it is to push fuel through a tiny tube, would you be more interested in one measurement point or the difference between two points? • Which option best matches how most industrial transmitters are set up when they compare a condition between an inlet and an outlet?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which choices describe inlet AND outlet measurements versus just inlet measurements. • Identify which physical quantity is most directly related to flow resistance in a small tube at constant flow: pressure difference or temperature difference? • Before choosing, be sure the option you pick clearly describes a transmitter type (pressure vs temperature, single vs differential) that makes sense for measuring viscosity in a capillary.

What statement is true concerning the arrangement and operation of the viscosity transmitter as used for indicating the viscosity of heavy fuel oil?

The viscosity transmitter is a differential pressure transmitter receiving both capillary tube inlet and outlet pressures from the viscosity sensor and delivering a single viscosity signal to the viscosity indicator.

The viscosity transmitter is a differential temperature transmitter receiving both capillary tube inlet and outlet temperatures from the viscosity sensor and delivering a single viscosity signal to the viscosity indicator.

The viscosity transmitter is a single temperature transmitter receiving capillary tube inlet temperature from the viscosity sensor and delivering a single viscosity signal to the viscosity indicator.

The viscosity transmitter is a single pressure transmitter receiving capillary tube inlet pressure from the viscosity sensor and delivering a single viscosity signal to the viscosity indicator.
