What is the difference between a Force Tensiometer and an Optical Tensiometer?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EA Force Tensiometer (like the K100) measures surface tension by calculating the force acting on a probe (ring or plate). An Optical Tensiometer (like the DSA series) uses image analysis of a drop to determine contact angle and surface tension.\u003C/p\u003E \u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C/p\u003E \u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E2. Why is contact angle measurement important for manufacturing?\u003C/strong\u003E\u003Cbr /\u003EContact angle measurement tells you how a liquid will wet a surface. This is critical for ensuring that paints stick, glues hold, or that waterproof coatings effectively repel water on smartphones or textiles.\u003C/p\u003E \u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C/p\u003E \u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003E3.
