Tensiometer TD5

Compact tensiometer for research with perfect control

The Du Noüy ring and Wilhelmy plate methods are well-established techniques for measuring surface and interfacial tension in liquids. These methods are commonly used to characterize surfactant solutions, oils, and various other liquids. With the TD5, a tensiometer for research, and its powerful Surface Meter software, you have full control over your measurements, with all raw data displayed in real time.

Additionally, the TD5 supports unique methods such as drop adhesion force measurements. This feature is particularly valuable as it enables direct measurement of liquid-solid interactions. Combined with its other capabilities, the TD5 stands out as one of the most compact research-grade tensiometers available on the market.
