DFA100 measures the liquid content of foams and its change with

information on the foam formation and help you to specifically
optimize the liquid content and stability of foams.
Fast measurement of foam stability

Drainage is always the first sign that a foam is starting to decay.
Accurately and quickly measuring the liquid content in the foam
enables reliable conclusions about the stability of slowly decaying
foams. This saves measuring time and significantly increases
sample throughput.
Accurate liquid analysis at seven height increments

The liquid content is measured simultaneously at up to seven height
increments of the foam. This high resolution shows how uniform
the drainage occurs and how the homogeneity changes over time.
In addition, the dense arrangement of conductivity electrodes
guarantees that a measurement is always available in the lower
region and around the top of the foam. This makes comparative
measurements of liquids with different foaming intensities more
reliable and simplifies the optimization of the liquid content.
