The tensiometer of the DCAT series with an electrical temperature control unit from DataPhysics Instruments is able to fast and easily determine the surface tension of molten granules in a temperature range of 80-150°C.

This technique provides an easily accessible and reliable way to study the wetting behaviour of molten solids at high temperatures, which is of great significance for characterizing new raw materials in various areas, like building materials, pharmaceuticals, automotive etc.
