DataPhysics SVT 25 spinning drop video tensiometer for measuring low to ultra-low interfacial tensions

Spinning drop tensiometer

The DataPhysics spinning drop video tensiometer SVT 25 is a compact optical measuring instrument for the determination of low to ultra-low interfacial tensions and rheological interface properties.

Highest precision and reproducibility of the measuring results is guaranteed by a well-established measuring technique and first grade mechanical and optical components. Due to state of the art electronic components the SVT 25 can be operated intuitively via the TP 50 control panel.
