Contact angle measuring instruments:
PCA 200
Quantitative alternative to test inks: the PCA 200 portable contact angle goniometer
As a handheld device, the PCA 200 is mobile and can be used directly on site for quality control
Direct evaluation and display of contact angles and surface energy on the touch screen
Non-destructive surface testing of production parts and materials of any size
Mobile, on-site determination of surface energy, on samples of any size
Traditionally, test inks have been used to inspect surfaces. Such methods are subjective and can only roughly classify surfaces. Determining the surface energy by contact angle measurement offers several advantages: the method is objective, reproducible and provides additional information on the polar and disperse components of the surface energy.
The PCA 200 portable contact angle goniometer from DataPhysics Instruments is a handheld device for autonomous and mobile measurement of surface energy. The PCA 200 one-click measurement with immediate display of the results is fast, non-destructive, and can be done directly on site.
What is more, production parts are often too large to be analysed with a laboratory measuring device without cutting them up. The PCA 200 can easily be used for non-destructive measurements on large surfaces, such as entire car body parts, large wafers or composite materials.
