Three Modes of Operation

The SITA pro line t15 is not just a tensiometer; it's a three-in-one solution:

  • Single-Mode offers quick concentration control, ideal for routine checks.
  • Auto-Mode provides automated scans of surfactant dynamics, perfect for in-depth research and development.
  • Online-Mode ensures continuous measurement over time, making it indispensable for real-time monitoring.

Robust and Durable Design

Constructed with durability in mind, the SITA pro line t15 can withstand the rigors of both laboratory and industrial environments. An optional acid protection kit further enhances its resilience.

Precision and Accuracy

With a surface tension measuring range of 10...100 mN/m and a bubble lifetime adjustable from 15 ms to 20,000 ms, the SITA pro line t15 guarantees precise and reproducible results every time.

Versatile Capillaries for Every Application

Whether you're working with aggressive chemicals or need a general-purpose solution, there's a capillary for that. Choose from PEEK, PTFE, or glass to suit your specific application.

Typical Applications

The pro line T15 is an ideal tool for helping improve product quality in a wide range of situations. Popular applications include:

  • Ensuring the correct conditions of cleaning baths, enabling more efficient and timely fluid changes
  • Checking the wetting agent concentration of electroplating baths
  • Quality control of inkjet inks, paints, and lacquers
  • Measuring liquid surface tension

Operating Principle

The pro line T15 is based on the bubble pressure method for measuring the dynamic surface tension of liquids.

The principle of the bubble pressure method is that an air stream is lead through a capillary into the liquid being analyzed. A sensor measures the pressure which is needed to generate a bubble.  This is then calculated and a result displayed.

As the conditions of a liquid change, the surface tension (and consequently pressure) changes, which is then precisely measured and displayed.
