FoamTester
Description
The SITA FoamTester analyses the characteristics of surfactant-containing liquids easy, fast and precise with automated measuring sequences. The measuring device uses innovative optical measuring methods to determine foam characteristics such as foam volume, stability, drainage as well as foam structure.
The SITA FoamTester offers:
- Fast contact-free and high-resolution optical scan of the foam surface with structured light
- Reliable and continuous detection of the foam-liquid interface even with opaque liquids
- Fast and high-resolution measurement of the foam structure for the entire foam level, analysis of the different bubble sizes and other characteristic values
- Fully-automated measuring process including sample conditioning and cleaning
- Reproducible foam generation with reliable SITA stirring method and flexible test parameters
•Individually programmable sequences for generating and analysing foam as well as easy operation with pre-set or costumised experiments
