2 INTRODUCTION
The PGX+ measures contact angle (dynamic and static), surface tension, and
surface energy. The PGX+ makes a drop in µl according to the size that is
set. The drop is automatically released and 80 images per second are made.
The instrument is used for paper & board, solar cell panels, windshields,
metal cylinders and similar surfaces. For most tests deionized water is used,
however using other liquids is also possible. Contact us if you want to use
any other liquids.
During testing the instrument is connected to the special PC software. The
software gives you an easy overview of the possible tests. During the test
the data transferred to the computer. The pictures taken and the results
can be stored and analyzed. Thanks to the direct feedback, adjustments to
improve the results can easily be made.
