Contact Angle
Learn how contact angle is measured, what it reveals about wetting, and how static, dynamic, and tilting studies relate to real surfaces.
Explore Contact AngleSince 1961
Since 1961, ramé-hart has led the field of contact angle goniometry as the original company to offer a lab-grade contact angle goniometer.
Built on the pioneering Zisman design, our instruments continue that legacy with precision-engineered systems for modern surface science.
Every instrument is a turn-key system, with a dedicated PC, pre-installed software, and the hardware, cables, and accessories needed to start researching immediately.
Thousands of our customers trust our instruments and accessories to measure surface properties such as contact angle, surface tension, surface energy, interfacial tension, and interfacial rheology across a wide range of applications.
