Comprehensive Quality Control with the Force Tensiometer K20
The Force Tensiometer K20 by Krüss is an advanced, semi-automatic tool designed for precise quality control measures in industries where surface tension and interfacial tension play critical roles. Equipped with a precision force sensor and well-crafted measuring probes, this instrument ensures accurate and reliable results. Its processor-controlled analyses, built on adaptable measurement templates, guarantee user-independent outcomes. The K20’s compatibility with long-life battery operation enhances its flexibility, allowing for on-site use without the need for continuous computer connectivity.
Applications Across Industries
Key applications include the assessment of transformer and other oils’ aging state following ASTM D 971 and IEC 62961 standards, detecting cleaning agent residues in food processing, and verifying the effectiveness of cleaning, wetting, and other surface-active agents. It also plays a significant role in the quality assurance processes of emulsifiers.
Versatile Measuring Techniques
The K20 encompasses various measuring methods, including surface and interfacial tension evaluations using both the lamella tear-off and wetting force methods on different probes, alongside liquid density measurements. These diverse approaches ensure comprehensive analysis capabilities for a broad range of materials and conditions.
