Fibro PGX+ pocket goniometer
Fibro PGX+ pocket goniometer
The PGX+ measures the contact angle (dynamic and static), the surface tension and the surface energy.
The PGX+ measures the contact angle (dynamic and static), the surface tension and the surface energy. The device is used for paper and cardboard, solar panels, windscreens, metal cylinders and similar surfaces.
The PGX+ generates a drop in µl according to the set size. The drop is automatically released and 80 images per second are recorded.
Deionised water is used for most tests, but other liquids can also be used. Please contact us if you would like to use a different liquid.

- Automatic droplet formation and deposition
- Purity of liquids, surface tension, static and dynamic contact angle
- Several test liquids possible
- Runs on any Windows computer
- Power supply via USB connection
- No sample preparation
- Simple calibration
Goniometer test analysis by experts
During the test, the device is connected to the special PC software. The software gives you a simple overview of the possible tests. During the test, the data is transferred to the computer. The images taken and the results can be saved and analysed. Thanks to the direct feedback, adjustments can easily be made to improve the results.
Complete goniometer test
The Fibro PGX+ digital goniometer is the ideal instrument for carrying out dynamic tests such as absorption tests. During a test, the device is connected to the computer. Our software provides an accessible overview of the optional tests and gives you full control. The adjustable parameters of the goniometer include droplet size, application method, start delay and sampling rate.
No preparatory goniometer tests
The Fibro PGX+ Pocket Goniometer creates a mini test environment on which you can place samples directly. This means you don't have to waste valuable time preparing individual samples.
Goniometer measurement of surface tension
The shape of the hanging droplet is registered by the camera alongside information about the intermolecular forces.
Perfect goniometer testing - as standard
Our goniometer complies with all major international standards, including ASTM D724 and ASTM D5946 .
Pocket goniometer dosing device
As an optional extra, take a look at the goniometer dosing unit we manufacture. An additional pumping device that delivers consistent liquid droplets from a 1 ml disposable syringe, further improving the accuracy of droplet delivery.
