• The ZetaCad is a specially designed, automated instrument for measuring Zeta Potential using the streaming potential technique.
• Applicable to particles above 50µm in diameter, fibers and flat surfaces, the technique is very reliable and simple to set up.
• The measurement and rinsing of the system is fully automated, using a menu driven Windows® based software.
• Applications: large particles above 50µm, filtration membranes, silicon wafers, flotation, geology, pulp & paper industry, adhesion properties, flat surface studies, self leveling concrete.

Streaming Potential Measurement

• An electrolyte is forced to pass through a capillary or porous plug by pressure gradient.
• The excess charges around the particles or wall are carried along by the liquid.
• The measured potential across the capillary is called Streaming Potential.
