Cone and Plate Viscometer (CP1)

Description

Pocket Goniometer PGX+ defines several surface properties for quality control. The instrument measures the dynamic and static contact angle of a standard liquid on paper and board, solar cell panels, windshields, metal cylinders, and similar surfaces. PGX+ uses a camera which can take up to 80 pictures per second. This way, both the static and the dynamic contact angle of the droplet can be measured. The Pocket Goniometer may also be used to measure surface tension and surface free energy (SFE).
Full control
The PGX+ is the ideal instrument to perform dynamic tests like absorption tests. During a test, the apparatus is connected to the computer. Special software gives an accessible overview of the optional tests, giving the operator full control. Droplet size, method of deposit, start delay, and sample rate are just some of the adjustable parameters.
No sample preparation
The PGX+ Pocket Goniometer provides a mini test environment and can be placed directly onto the sample surface. It is unnecessary to prepare individual samples. A test is typically performed with deionized water. However, using other liquids is also possible.
Analysis
Test data is transferred to the computer immediately. Pictures and data can be stored and analyzed. This direct feedback allows for quickly adjusting the test set-up. Adjustments to improve the results can be made instantly.
The test results can provide insight into the level of contamination, adhesion, surface energy, and printability of a surface.
Conform to international Standards
PGX+ Pocket Goniometer conforms to all major international standards, including ASTM D724, Standard test for surface wettability of paper (Angle of contact method), and ASTM D5946, Standard test for Corona treated polymer films using water contact angle measurements.
