Device for measuring the surface energy of materials

摘要

The present invention is a device for measuring the surface energy of a material. The device includes a pulling mechanism and a clamp. A film, including an adhesive side, is attached to a surface to be measured. The film is clamped to surface energy measuring device. The device is placed flush on the surface. A pulling mechanism is pulled until a triangular piece of film tears and is removed from the surface. The device is then lifted off of the surface and a measurement is made at the pre-calibrated marking nearest the tip of the triangle torn into film.
