The optical contact angle meters of the OCA series are high-precision measuring systems for the characterisation of interfaces and surfaces. They combine high-resolution optics, pinpoint liquid dosing and precise sample positioning to create powerful, reliable measuring systems.
The entry-level model OCA 15EC enables basic methods of professional contact angle measurement and drop shape analysis. Thanks to the modular construction, even this entry-level model can be combined with many accessories, such as the TBU 100EC tilting unit.
Possible Measurements:
- static contact angle
- dynamic contact angle
- analysis of interfacial and surface tension with dispersive and polar parts
- analysis of surface energy with dispersive and polar parts
- analysis of the viscoelastic modulus
- analysis of the work of adhesion
Features of the OCA 15EC contact angle meter:
- sample table stands on magnetic base for manual horizontal positioning
- sample table height can be manually adjusted using precision mechanics
- fast measuring lens with 6.5-fold zoom
- integrated, stepless manual focus and manually adjustable observation angle
- video system with USB-3-camera
- upgradeable with different environmental chambers for measurements in the temperature range from -30 °C to 400 °C
- upgradeable with the TVS TopView Video System, which allows the measurement of contact angles in indentations
- upgradeable with the manual tilting table TBA 360 and the electronic tilting unit TBU 100EC
- upgradeable with a humidity generator of the HGC series from DataPhysics Instruments
- upgradeable with the external TP 50 control panel with touch screen and precision control wheel
