CAST®1.0 powerful functions and user-friendly interface

- More methods available for you to make a comprehensive solution.

- USA KINO exclusively provides 3 methods, including classical Wihelmy plate method (slide Wihelmy plate method), modified Wihelmy plate method and DuNoüy ring method.

- USA KINO’s innovative 3rd generation Wilhelmy plate method used Young-Laplace equation correction, in which method plate needn’t be immersed and withdrawn in measuring process (such method is called zero buoyance method).

It can be used for measurement of dynamic & static surface / interface tension, especially for viscosity sample, which enriches measurement technologies of interface chemistry.
