The Company
Cambridge Applied Systems, Inc. (CAS) is a recognized leader in viscosity management systems. Viscosity is a core fluid property. Its accurate measurement is crucial to successful fluid management in a broad range of industries. Founded in 1984, CAS is privately held with headquarters at 196 Boston Avenue in Medford, Massachusetts (USA).

The Power Of A Simple Solution
CAS viscometers are highly accurate, reliable and self-cleaning by design. The company's patented technology uses only one moving part, a piston, driven electromagnetically through fluid in a small measurement chamber. Proprietary circuitry then analyses the piston's travel time to measure absolute viscosity and monitoring temperature. With all wetted parts stainless steel, the constant motion of the piston keeps samples fresh, while mechanically scrubbing the sampling area.

Viscometer Technology
Cambridge's technology is employed in an entire family of visometers, processes and enclosures. Measurements range from 0.2 to 20,000cP (centipoise). CAS viscometers offer "set and forget" monitoring and control, requiring limited maintenance and easy clean-up. Thousands of CAS viscometers are operating trouble-free throughout the world.

Profits Up and Down the Line
CAS viscometers produce consistent results. Users count on CAS's uniformly accurate and reliable viscosity management to provide high quality to their customers all the time, while reducing costs, decreasing material usage, scrap and rework. In addition, self-cleaning CAS sensors require less operator involvement overall. This has a measurable effect on the bottom line. CAS users report that the instruments pay for themselves within weeks of installation.
