DOWNLOAD REQUEST FORM HERE

INSTRUMENT NAME & MODEL: Dynamic Contact Angle (Dataphysic – DCAT21)  

The dynamic contact angle measuring instrument and tensiometer DCAT 21 is the multifunctional instrument for the angle, surface and interfacial tension, critical micelle formation concentration, density, sedimentation, penetration, adhesive force and surface pressure.

CATEGORY: RHEOLOGY LABORATORY 

Special Features

  1. SPECIAL FEATURES

    1. Main features of the DCAT 21 are as follows:
    • high-precision electrodynamic compensation weighing system with automatic calibration
    • Software controlled, motor-driven height positioning of the sample receptacles with variable speed
    • Automatic coupling lock for the balance
    • Illuminated sample chamber with inert gas or vapor inlet
    • Versatile specimen holders for various samples, including fibre bundles, powders, film, cylinder and plate samples
    • Du Noüy rings – for surface tension measurement of liquid
    • Wilhelmy plates – for determination of surface tension (SFT) of a liquid, the interfacial tension (IFT) between two liquids, and the contact angle between a liquid and a solid
