JC2000D1 Contact Angle Meter

Download User Manual

The JC2000D1 contact angle meter is mainly used to measure the contact angle of a liquid on a solid, i.e., the wettability of a liquid on a solid. It can also measure the contact angle when the external phase is liquid. This instrument can measure the contact angle of various liquids on various materials, such as bulk materials, fibrous materials, and textile materials. Powder samples can also be measured after tableting. This series of instruments can also measure and calculate surface/interfacial tension, CMC, droplet shape and size, surface free energy, advancing angle, receding angle, and roll-off angle.

The difference between JC2000C and JC2000D

The JC2000C was introduced more than 10 years ago, renowned for its stability. Its accuracy and major parameters are similar to the current JC2000D series. It is a budget choice for the excellent performance. Due to structural limitations, it cannot be expanded as JC2000D.

The JC2000D series offers a variety of expansion options, which can be implemented both before and after the sale. This feature saves the users cost and time when they divert their research direction or have new products in their production line.
