Description

[0002] The size of the tension value can reflect the physical and chemical properties of the liquid and its material composition, and is one of the important indicators for investigating product quality in many material and engineering fields. The most widely used tension measuring instrument is an interfacial tension meter, which is composed of a tension measuring device, a test bench, a controllable moving device, and a tension ring (platinum ring) or a platinum plate. The instrument is widely used in power, petroleum, chemical, and other industries. In particular, the platinum ring method is widely used. The measurement principle is to place the tension measuring device connected to the platinum ring at zero, then gently immerse it in the liquid, then slowly lift the platinum ring upwards, so that the liquid surface relatively drops and finally separates from the platinum ring. The highest value measured during this process is the surface tension value. As can be seen, the platinum ring is a very important component. It is made of high-purity platinum wire, and there are strict requirements for the diameter of the platinum wire and the circumference size of the platinum ring.
