Measuring range: contact angle: 0.1 to 180°, surface/interfacial tension: 0.1 to 100mN/m
Resolution: contact angle: 0.1°, surface/interfacial tension: 0.1mN/m
Accuracy: contact angle: 0.2°, surface/interfacial tension: 0.2mN/m
Camera system: USB2.0 CMOS camera: 60fps at 640x480 pixels
Optical system: Focus: manual focus with 3-step zoom
field of view: 5.3x4.0mm, 9.6x7.2mm, 13.6x10.2mm ±6%
Measuring methods : contact angle: sessile drop (static and dynamic)
surface/interfacial tension: pendant drop (static and dynamic)
  • Automatic recognition of droplet deposition
  • Live image display and droplet volume monitoring
  • Fine adjustable stage in z-axis for gentle deposition of droplets without distortion
  • Adjustable level of the body and stage
  • Droplet calibration standard for standard view, bearing one full circle for calibration and three droplet silhouettes of 5°, 60°, and 108° for periodic inspection of measurement accuracy
This technique is used to measure the hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity of a surface through the value of the contact angle.
  • Wettability of different surfaces including metals, ceramics, plastic, glass, Nanomaterials etc.,
