Integrated Software

 Sigma Transformer Oil comes with a powerful embedded software that guides the user in the measurements according to the relevant standards and shows the results on the integrated screen. Data can be also stored in PC with Data Receiver software for additional data storage and reporting. 

Integrated Software

  • Operation via touch display

    Embedded software allowing full instrument operation via touch display.

  • Surface and interfacial tension made easy

    Surface and interfacial tension as well as liquid density measurements can be performed with ease.

  • No training needed

    Intuitive user interface with guidance provides a platform that can be used by anyone with minimum training needed.
Stand-alone main screen

Intuitive UI for surface and interfacial tension

Standalone mode has intuitive user interface allowing measurements of surface and interfacial tension with Du Noüy ring, surface tension with Wilhelmy plate, and density. 

Du Nouy ring settings

Default settings and guided measurements

Each measurement type has default settings that can be used in most use cases. If needed, modification of the most important parameters can be done. User interface will guide the operator through the measurement steps. 

pdf report

Results displayed on screen and .pdf

 Immediately after the measurement is completed, the results are shown on the instrument screen. Each measurement will automatically create .pdf file, up to 100 of them can be stored in the instrument memory. Connect the instrument to computer or phone via USB-C and store the reports to external drive, quality system or share with the colleagues.
