Product catalog summary
Introduction
The SVT 25 Spinning Drop Video Tensiometer is designed for measuring low to ultra-low interfacial tensions using spinning drop tensiometry. This method involves optical contour analysis of a drop within a rotating capillary, allowing for precise measurement of interfacial tensions.

Spinning Drop Tensiometry
This technique is ideal for measuring extremely low interfacial tensions, particularly in microemulsions used in enhanced oil recovery (EOR). The method involves the deformation of a drop due to centrifugal force, with interfacial tension counteracting this deformation. The SVT 25 can measure tensions in superheated aqueous solutions up to 130°C.

Interfacial Rheology
The device also allows for the analysis of interfacial rheology, examining how interfaces react to changes in area. This is achieved by varying the rotational velocity in an oscillating manner.

SVT 25 Features
The SVT 25 is a compact optical instrument offering high precision and reproducibility. It features a tilting table for easy drop positioning, a high-performance camera for detailed analysis, and a dynamic measurement drive for uniform rotation. The device supports rapid sample exchange and easy cleaning.

Temperature Control
The SVT 25 can simulate various environmental conditions with a temperature range from -30°C to 180°C. It is equipped with a specially designed capillary for high-pressure tolerance.

Software Capabilities
The SVTSoftware facilitates efficient workflow management, offering modules for interfacial tension measurement (SVTS 20), oscillation analysis (SVTS 21), and membrane-covered drop analysis (SVTS 22).

Technical Data
The device supports a wide range of interfacial tension measurements and offers high-resolution rotational speed control. It includes a motorized tilting table, high-performance optics, and a USB 3 camera system. Temperature control is achieved via various methods, and the device is controlled through a TP 50 control panel.

S p i n n i n g D r o p Te n s i o m e t r y Spinning drop tensiometry is the technology of choice for measuring extremely low interfacial tensions. The method is based on the optical contour analysis of a drop. This drop, instead of hanging from a dosing needle and being exposed to gravitation, is located inside of a rotating capillary. ρ₁ with angular velocity ω Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) “Ultra-low” interfacial tensions occur particularly in microemulsions which are used, for example, in enhanced oil recovery. At suitable conditions microemulsions form spontaneously from water, oil and surfactant....

Software for an efficient workflow The SVTSoftware supports you in the use of the SVT 25 by easily specifying measurement procedures and in collecting and evaluating data. The software is designed as a modular program for the use under Microsoft Windows®. holders for disposable glass capillaries as well as fast exchange capillary resolution. Fast processes e.g. during oscillation experiments can be captured with up to 3250 frames/s. Once detected the drop is automatically tracked by the movable camera. A highly dynamic measurement drive creates a uniform rotation even at highest rotational velocities...
