TENSIOMETER


How Force Tensiometers Measure Surface Tension
Force tensiometers are a versatile tool for measuring surface tension. They work by measuring the force required to pull a probe out of a liquid. The probe is typically a ring or a plate, and it is made of a material that does not wet the liquid. When the probe is immersed in the liquid, the surface tension of the liquid pulls on the probe, trying to keep it in the liquid. The force required to pull the probe out of the liquid is a measure of the surface tension.

The force tensiometer works by measuring the force on the probe using a sensitive balance. The balance is connected to a computer, which records the force data. The computer software then uses the force data to calculate the surface tension of the liquid.
