Surface Tension Measurement Instrument

The surface tension meter calculates the tension value by measuring the intermolecular forces on the liquid surface using the Wilhelmy plate method or the bubble method. It is used to test indicators such as coating adhesion, ink spreadability, and paper liquid absorption, as well as to control the uniformity of ink layers during printing and monitor material wettability in plastic production.
Selection
Select a rotational or static instrument based on the viscosity of the substance being measured, ensuring the temperature range matches the process conditions and verifying that the measurement range covers the actual tension values. Contact probes are suitable for slurries, while non-contact probes are ideal for corrosive liquids. Confirm that the data interface is compatible with existing equipment and ensure the calibration certificate complies with industry standards.
