Bubble Pressure Tensiometer Pro Line T15+

About Bubble Pressure Tensiometer Pro Line T15+

The SITA Pro Line T15+ is an all-round bubble pressure tensiometer for analysing surfactants and measuring dynamic surface tension. The instrument has a comprehensive bubble lifetime range from 15 ms to 20,000 ms for measuring dynamic surface tension and will automatically adjust the chosen bubble exactly without readjustment by the operator.

Using patented, cutting edge technology, the instrument is developed from the maximum bubble pressure technique to provide fast and reliable dynamic surface tension, hydrostatic pressure, effective adsorption time, bubble lifetime and dead time measurements, making it the instrument of choice when studying, controlling and developing a wide range of processes e.g. surfactants, ink jet printing, coating technologies, foam and emulsions, detergents, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food technologies, environmental monitoring etc.

The measuring data can be stored in the tensiometer, transferred to a computer or printed and the SITA-Lab Solution Software also offers visual presentation, evaluation and further processing of measuring data.

Measurement principle
Measurements are taken of the air pressure inside a capillary tube as air is bubbled through it whilst it is immersed in a liquid sample.  As the pressure increases in the capillary tube bubbles are eventually pushed out into the liquid sample, the maximum pressure is achieved when the bubble shape is hemispherical, after which the bubble quickly grows and leaves the capillary. The force exerted on the bubble is determined by the surface tension of the liquid. More detailed investigation of liquid properties can be achieved by monitors bubble lifetime and dead time.

The Bubble Tensiometer Pro Line T15+ measures:

• Auto-Mode: For analysing the dynamic behaviour of the surface tension of surfactant containing liquids. Wetting characteristics of surface active liquids can also be analysed and the optimal bubble lifetime for the concentration control can be easily determined by the operator.
• Single-Mode: Gives the user a quick measurement of a single surface tension value at a pre-determined bubble lifetime for a reliable control of the surfactant concentration of process liquids.
• Online-Mode: Used for a continuous monitoring of process liquids and for determining the temperature dependency of the surface tension of liquids.
