The MBP 200 bubble pressure tensiometer can determine the dynamic surface tension using the maximum bubble pressure method.

The MBP 200 bubble pressure tensiometer from DataPhysics Instruments is a powerful measuring system which can be used to determine the dynamic surface tension. To do so, the MBP 200 generates gas bubbles in the liquid to be analysed. This makes the MBP 200 bubble pressure tensiometer ideal for analysing liquids, such as surfactant solutions, in a wide dynamic range.

Application focus

• determine the dynamic surface tension of liquids using the maximum bubble pressure method
• measure at temperatures between -15 °C and 135 °C using optional thermostatting devices
• generate high pressures of up to 3400 Pascal, allowing the analysis of highly viscous liquids
• analyse dynamic surface tensions for different surface ages as a function of the concentration, for example of a surfactant solution, using the optional LDU 25 liquid dosing unit
