Rotating Ring Surface TensioMeter

The rotational surface Tensiometer generates centrifugal force by rotating the sample container, measures the changes in the shape of the meniscus formed by the liquid under rotation, and calculates the surface tension value. It is used for analyzing the interfacial properties of liquids such as coatings and inks under dynamic conditions, helping to adjust formulations to suit practical application scenarios.
Selection
When selecting a rotational surface Tensiometer, considerations should include a measurement range that covers the target liquid's tension values, adjustable rotation speeds to accommodate samples of varying viscosities, and temperature control functionality to ensure data stability. The operation interface should be user-friendly for daily use, while maintenance costs and consumable supplies must align with the laboratory's standard budget.
