Maximum Bubble Pressure Tensiometer BPA2S



Hi-end maximum bubble pressure tensiometer for precise measurement of surface tension in sub-milliseconds range.
Stand-alone instrument based on modern hardware and software design with hi-performance embedded computer expands the instrument’s usability and measurement performances.
Modern user-friendly interface and connectivity simplifies operation of instrument.

Features
- direct and precise measurement of dead and life time
- surface tensions as function of physical time and adsorption time
- available time interval of 6 orders of magnitude (0.0001 to 100 s)
- precise measurement of scientific dynamic surface tensions
- direct determination of the hydrostatic pressure
- correction of effects from gravitation and viscosity of the liquid
- estimation of liquid’s viscosity
- temperature monitoring and control of the sample
- can be run also without PC

Main features of the software
BPA-2S can operate as stand-alone instrument. It stores data on board for 180 measurements which can be downloaded to a PC. The software allows graphical display of several measurements for comparison. Graphics with various zoom functions supports the visual analysis of the data. Export as text file or directly into MS Excel. Unique instrument for very short adsorption times down to 0.1 milliseconds due to the application of the Fainerman measuring routine. Automatic and manual determination of the critical flow rate. Required small bubble volume and dead time possible due to specially designed capillaries.
