Egypt tender for supplying tensiometer
Tensiometer for Dynamic and static surface and Interfacial tension
1. Features
The instrument allows the following measurements:
- dynamic and static surface and interfacial tension of liquid / liquid or liquid / gas.
- Static and dynamic contact angle according to the sessile drop method
- Determination of surface free energy
- Capillary pressure measurements for iso-dense liquid-liquid systems.
- Surface rheological studies at higher frequency.
- Direct drop-drop, bubble-bubble and drop-bubble interactions.
- Characteristics of a surfactant.
- Adsorption of surfactant onto a powder.
- Executing the measurements with heavier sample chambers up to 200°C at pressures over the range from 0.1bar to 200 bar.
- Computer controlled syringe pump (syringe pump rate up to 10 µL / s).
- Video imaging system (resolution 640 x 480 pixels).
2. Main features of the software
- On-line interfacial tension/contact angle calculation.
- Smooth oscillations with dosing system
- Harmonic and transient relaxation Experiments.
- Calculation of the dilation rheological parameters from relaxation measurements via Fourier analysis.
- Calculation of the surface free energy of solids (different methods).
- Control of the dosing system for accurate changes of a drop or bubble (transient or harmonic changes).
- Exporting measurement results and switching to spread sheet type software as excel.
- Dynamic contact angle measurement
- Calculated surface elasticity or rigidity by data analysis of measurement;
- Comparing the results of the different measurements easily;
- Also software allows the user to select and control at given end-point, either the interfacial tension, drop volume, or drop area, using feedback from image analysis data to control the syringe pump.
