Our tensiometers and contact angle analyzers
Manual Tensiometers
Precision Tensiometer
This instrument is specified for determining interfacial tension of oil against water by the ring method D971 and solutions of surface-active agents in ASTM method D1331. It is also specified for testing synthetic rubber lattices in ASTM method D1417 and determining the surface tension of industrial water and industrial wastewater in ASTM 1590.
Interfacial Tensiometer
The interfacial tensiometer is designed to measure both upward and downward forces on the DuNouy Ring.
- Comes with 1ea DuNouy ring & Carry Case
- RAPID MEASUREMENT in 15 to 30 seconds
- DIRECT READING from circular scale in dynes/cm
- REPRODUCIBLE RESULTS within +-0.05 dynes/cm
