Brief Introduction
The FT‑ZL Automatic Interfacial Tension Tester is a fully‑automatic laboratory testing instrument specially designed for measuring the interfacial tension between insulating oil (transformer oil), turbine oil, lubricating oil and distilled water. It is widely used in power systems, oil purification plants, petrochemical laboratories to judge oil aging degree, oxidation status, acid value and sludge risk.
Testing Principle
It uses the standard Du‑Noüy platinum‑iridium ring method:
A high‑precision platinum‑iridium ring is immersed into the oil‑water interface
The instrument automatically pulls the ring upward
Real‑time sensor detects the maximum surface tension force
The system calculates and displays interfacial tension value automatically
Main Features
Fully automatic operation: Auto sampling, auto lifting, auto calculation, auto printing results
High‑precision platinum‑iridium ring, corrosion‑resistant, long service life
Built‑in constant‑temperature control system (keep test temperature 25℃ ±0.5℃)
Touch‑screen control, easy operation
Complies with international standards: ASTM D971, GB/T 6541
Application Scenarios
Power plants & substations: monitor transformer oil quality
Oil purification/regeneration plants: verify purification effect
Petrochemical labs: test lubricating oil, hydraulic oil
