PCA – Portable Contact Angle Goniometer

Part Number: PCA

The PCA 200 is a compact, handheld contact angle goniometer engineered for on-site, autonomous measurement of surface energy on solid materials of any size. With a built-in processor and battery-powered operation (~6–8 hours), it provides fast, lab-grade performance—delivering static contact angles and surface energy data within seconds—ideal for manufacturing quality control and incoming material inspection
