Optimal Number of Contact Angle Measurements on Pyrite Surface

Article Preview

Abstract:

Contact angle measurement is a simple and quick method that expresses the surface wettability. Resulting values vary and depend on many factors that significantly affect the interpretation of results. In this paper a set of seventeen samples from different deposits with different genesis were subjected to a statistical evaluation, to determine the optimal number of measurements needed to obtain the desired standard deviation.
