The perfect symbiosis between proven theory and modern technology

The big brother of the LAUDA TD 1 is a highly precise "all-round" measurement device for all types of interfaces. Thanks to the high level of automation it is also suitable for use in quality control. It is essential for interfacial researchers due to its high precision and numerous measuring options.

The combination of a fast, microgram accurate force measuring system with the high resolution distance encoder is the basis for its wide application spectrum. Without a doubt, the LAUDA Tensiometer TE3 is an optimised version of the first fully automated LAUDA Tensiometer.

Application examples

• CMC determination for different surfactants (washing agents)
• Characterisation of the wetting properties of materials
• Surface tension of liquids with ring or plate
• Interfacial tension between two immiscible liquids
• Contact angles on solid plates with the dipping method (dynamic Wilhelmy method)
• Contact angles on fibres using the dynamic Wilhelmy method or on powders using the Washburn method
• Automatic concentration changes to determine the critical micellar concentration (CMC) or of adsorption isotherms
• Automatic surface aspiration for cleaning of surfaces and for adsorption tests
• Density using the buoyancy method
