To measure the kinetics of solid/liquid separation
We use one of two methods...
- Centrifugal force to accelerate settling of slow or small sample volumes
- Gravitational settling with temperature control
... or we could just use a measuring cylinder, a ruler and a litre of sample!
Our systems clearly define settling regions caused by differences in particle size and density providing an instant picture as to the solid/liquid separation characteristics of the sample.
Data from these techniques will provide information on:
- Emulsion/suspension stability
- Foams
- Sedimentation
- Shelf life
- Sludges and slurries
