K6 – Force Tensiometer

The manual tensiometer for reliable basic measurements

The K6 Force Tensiometer is a robust and reliable manual instrument for measuring surface and interfacial tension using the ring tear-off method. As a quality product from our precision mechanical workshop, it performs fast, easy, and accurate measurements for surfactant solutions and solvents. The K6 is also suitable for training purposes for demonstrating the action of the surface tension force in a comprehensible manner.
