Data analysis system ODBA-1M

in-linedirectautomatic

Introduction
The ODBA-1M is an advanced measurement module for the PAT-1M. By combining direct capillary pressure measurement with controlled oscillations of pendant drops and buoyant bubbles, the module enables precise characterization of dynamic interfacial rheological properties.

Measurement principle
The module applies controlled oscillatory deformation to pendant drops or rising bubbles while recording capillary pressure and optical geometry in real time. Analysis of the synchronized signals yields interfacial viscoelastic parameters (elastic and viscous moduli) and surface tension dynamics.

Key features

• Operates in pendant-drop and buoyant-bubble modes for comprehensive interfacial analysis
• Programmable oscillation frequency and amplitude with automated measurement routines
• Direct capillary pressure sensing synchronized with optical acquisition
• Software tools for data acquisition, Fourier analysis and parameter extraction

Applications

• Formulation and stabilizer evaluation in coatings, adhesives and surfactants
• Emulsion and foam stability studies for petrochemical and consumer-product development
• Process development and PAT implementations requiring real-time interfacial monitoring

Technical specifications

• Model: ODBA-1M (module for PAT-1M)
• Measurement modes: pendant drop, buoyant bubble
• Oscillation control: configurable frequency and amplitude (user-selectable Hz range)
