HP/HT Interfacial Tension Measurement
The Grace Instrument M6550 HPHT Spinning Drop Tensiometer measures low interfacial tension at elevated temperatures and pressures, set by the operator. The unit features a microscope that magnifies up to 25x with a numerical display resolution of 0.0001 mm, offering researchers the greatest measurement accuracy of any comparable device on the market today
High-resolution microscope for enhanced accuracy
The Grace Instrument M6550 HPHT Spinning Drop Tensiometer was developed for the measurement of interfacial tension, surface tension, absorption rate and extreme low interfacial tension. Excellent temperature control and optimum synchronization of the instrument allows the sample to be observed over a long period of time under constant conditions.
Light-weight and easy to handle
The M6550 is lightweight at only 40 lbs. and includes a level adjustment control with handles on its two sides. This allows the user to easily pick up, travel with, and/or manipulate the unit in order to reposition the test droplet quickly and efficiently.
