Contact Angle and Surface Energy Measurement
Make and Model:
Kruss DSA30 Drop Shape Analyzer
Description:
DSA30 is a robust instrument which can be used flexibly for the precise measurement of contact angle and surface free energy. Measurement of surface tension and liquid-liquid interfacial tension is possible by using the Pendant Drop method.
Features:
- Measuring range
- Contact angle: 1 – 180°
- Surface tension: 0.01 to 1000 mN/m
- Measurement resolution
- Contact angle: 0.1°
- Surface tension: 0.01 mN/m
Applications
- Characterization of surface pre-treatment processes
- Investigation of the adhesion and stability of bonding and coating processes
Checking the wettability of plastic, glass, ceramic, wood or metal
