Multitalented Tensiometer

The tensiometer K100MK2 and K100SF (for Single Fibres) from Krüss are characterized by their outstanding range of measuring methods:

• • Extended CMC measurement with unlimited concentration
• Contact angle measurements (advancing and receding angles) of plates, disks, powder, pigments and single fibres (K100SF)
• Surface and interfacial tension of liquids (plate, ring with corrections according to Harkins & Jordan, Huh & Mason, Zuidema & Waters)
• Surface free energy determination of solids
• Ultra high force resolution of 0.001 mN/m (0.0001 mN/m for K100SF)
• Very high distance resolution: 0.1 µm
• Integrated ionizing device for static discharge
• High precision jerk-free sample positioning drive

The combination of the K100MK2/K100SF with the new "LabDesk" Windows software from Krüss provides the user with maximum flexibility – a new scripting language incorporated in the software means that measuring procedures can easily be adapted to any special applications.
