SH0824

Our preparation set SH0824 is a helpful tool for preparing the Washburn sorption tube and packing the powder sample reproducibly, which is important for obtaining reliable contact angle results. The set consists of a fitted shape for inserting the powder-filled Washburn cell SH0820 and a plunger for compressing the sample.

The shape has a slightly dished base so the filter base is pressed into the dish and curves in a reproducible manner. In this way, air bubbles, which could influence the measurement, do not adhere on immersion.

The plunger compresses the powder reproducibly without bodily force and only as a result of its inherent weight. The mass can be flexibly matched to the particular sample characteristics, as with a dumbbell, by fitting up to four discs, each weighing 500 g.
