Force Tensiometer – Sigma 702 / 702ET

UK based Dyne Testing offer Sigma 702 and 702ET, standalone force tensiometers offering high resolution and precision.  Direct measurements allow determination of a number of material and surface properties, such as dynamic contact angle, surface free energy, critical micelle concentration, wettability, surface and interfacial tension measurements.

The Sigma 702ET Transformer Oil Analyzer has been specifically designed to guide the user through the measurement of interfacial tension of transformer oil according to relevant standards.

Applications

Sigma 702 and 702ET are force tensiometers for determination of:

  • Surface tension
  • Interfacial tension
  • Critical micelle concentration
  • Absorption
  • Density

Measuring with Sigma 702/702ET

Results are displayed on a large integrated digital screen.  Open design and convenient control keyboard operations make Sigma 702 and 702ET extremely easy to use instruments.  Sigma 702 enables precise temperature control thanks to an integrated water-jacket vessel holder, mounted on a motorized sample stage.  Sigma 702ET is also equipped with a motorized sample stage, but without water jacket vessel order.  Sigma 702ET is specifically designed for oil-water interfacial tension measurements in line with ASTM and IEC standards.  A software designed for oil-water measurements is provided with the Sigma 702ET.  Sigma 702ET can also be connected to an external PC for additional data storage and simple reporting.  The data collection software is provided with the instrument.

 

Both instruments are standalone offering high resolution and precision for surface and interfacial tension measurements, as well as non-automatic CMC determination.

Sigma 702

The open design and convenient control keyboard operations makes the Sigma 702 extremely easy to use. Results are displayed on a large integrated digital screen. Comes with data collection software and can be connected to an external computer for additional data storage and simple reporting.

Sigma 702 can be used, for example, in the chemical industry or electronics industry to measure surface or interfacial tensions in quality control or R&D.

Allows precise temperature control via its integrated water-jacket vessel holder which is directly mounted on the motorised sample stage.

Sigma 702ET

The open design and convenient control keyboard operations makes the Sigma 702ET extremely easy to use. Results are displayed on a large integrated digital screen. The instrument comes with data collection software and can be connected to an external computer for additional data storage and simple reporting.

Sigma 702ET is specifically designed for oil-water interfacial tension (IFT) measurements. The instrument is particularly suitable for IFT determinations of transformer oils and hydrocarbon fuels in accordance with IEC 62961, ASTM D971 and IEC 60422 standards and comes with software designed for oil-water measurements.

Sigma 702ET is typically used in the energy industry to check the interfacial tension between transformer oils and water.
