Defoamer Test Method: 1 Ross-Miles Foam Tester

This document describes three common methods for testing the effectiveness of defoamers: 1) The Ross-Miles Foam Tester method tests defoamers in a strong foaming environment by measuring the time taken for foam to disappear after a defoamer is added. 2) The Air Drum Test method measures bubble volume over time when a defoamer and foaming liquid are added to a cylinder. 3) The Shake Flask Test method quickly identifies defoamer quality by measuring the time for the liquid surface to reappear after shaking a mixture of foaming medium and defoamer sample.

Defoamer Test Method


Defoamer testing methods are divided into dynamic defoaming and static defoaming
tests. If your foaming environment is different, the recommended test methods are
different. There are three main types of foam experiments to characterize the activity
of defoamers. Persistence. As we have different experimental conditions in different
laboratories and the experiments used in our research to obtain results from existing
literature, we will introduce these experiments below. Other methods are sometimes
used depending on the particular application.

1． Ross-Miles Foam Tester

Features: Tested for strong foaming environments.


This experiment is widely used for characterization
(1) Foaming of surfactant solution
(2) Research and application of foam
stability in the presence of defoamer
In the foaming system, the defoaming
performance test was carried out by circulating
bubbling by a Ross-Miles foam meter. In a 2000
mL measuring cylinder, a certain amount of
foaming liquid was added to adjust the flow
rate, and foaming was performed through the
foaming liquid. When the foam to be produced
rises to the 2000 mL mark, a quantitative
defoamer is added, and the foam elimination
time is recorded. When the foam disappears,
the circulation is continued to be bubbled and
the bubble inhibition time of 2000 mL is
recorded.

2．Air drum test

Features: Tested for strong foaming environments.


The foaming liquid and the defoaming agent were added to a 500 ml measuring

cylinder, constant to a set temperature, and air was bubbled into the set flow rate,
and the volume of the bubble volume (including the sum of the volume of the foam
and the medium) was recorded as a function of time T.

3．Shake flask test

Features: Quickly identify the quality of defoamers.


The measuring cylinder is used to measure a certain amount of foaming medium,
and the temperature is adjusted to the specified temperature. The antifoaming agent
sample is added, the stopper is covered, the measuring cylinder is shaken up and
down several times at a certain frequency and swing, and the cylinder is allowed to
stand and the timing is started, and the foam is discarded. The time taken for the
liquid surface to appear, that is the defoaming time of the shake flask.
