High-Temperature Contact Angle Meter HTC
Developed and manufactured independently by Betop Science, the HTC High-Temperature Contact Angle Meter is designed to study the contact angle variation between molten materials and their corresponding substrates at high temperatures.
The HTC can perform surface and interfacial property tests for high-melting-point materials under high vacuum or inert gas atmospheres (such as argon or nitrogen).
For low-melting-point materials, it can visually and quantitatively characterize behaviors such as contraction, deformation, melting, wetting, spreading, and solidification during heating and cooling processes.
