Kibron Tensiometers : Surface Tension -Precisely

A tensiometer measures the surface tension of a liquid or the interfacial tension between two immiscible liquids. Surface tension influences properties in a system and is an important parameter in characterising a liquids ability to wet a solid surface and to understand adhesion. Several techniques are described in literature and inherent to the most precise of these methods is to measure the weight of the meniscus using a balance. This method is used in all Kibron’s tensiometers

The Kibron Aqua Pi/Plus (& Ez-Pi plus) range offers users a family of compact, high performance force based surface / Interfacial tensiometers for lab or field use in almost every industry from waste water monitoring to foods & oils & Chrome plating baths to inks & coatings


Langmuir Tensiometers

The Kibron MicroTrough G series comprises three modern instruments, ranging from small to large. The baseplates are built on 12 mm thick anodized aluminium which provides a very stable support for the measurements. The baseplate provides a standard 25 mm x 25 mm M6 breadboard design around the trough. On this breadboard you can attach other modules, such as surface tension sensor and stand, dip coaters, and third party equipment used in measurements. This modular design facilitates the setup of any experiment. The baseplate can be equipped a range of troughs including standard Langmuir, Langmuir-Blodgett, Microscopy, and Surface potential trough. The troughs are made from the purest PTFE on the market; the trough and dipping well are machined from a single block of PTFE. The baseplate incorporates channels to be connected to a heat bath. This provides an even temperature of both the subphase in the trough and atmosphere inside the acrylic enclosure.
