The Foamscan is designed to characterize foam properties (generation and stability). The foam is generated by injecting some gas through the liquid.
A software solution, supplied with the apparatus, controls the gas flow rate and the foam volume can be analyzed thanks to a CCD camera.
Others parameters, such as liquid fraction or volume, are determined in real time with the conductivity electrodes.
