The withdrawal of a solid surface at slow and constant speed from a liquid phase gives rise to the formation of a contact angle which may depend upon the nature of the surface and the speed of withdrawal. [Definition standardized by ISO.] 1, record 1, English, - receding%20wetting%20angle
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
As generally measured, the receding wetting angle is that which corresponds to withdrawal perpendicular to the surface of the liquid phase. In the case of a solid surface, the advancing and receding wetting angles relating to a liquid phase are different. The difference arises from measurement of the angles produced at the speed of introduction and withdrawal laid down in the test method. 1, record 1, English, - receding%20wetting%20angle

[...] extraction lente et à vitesse constante d'une surface solide vers l'extérieur d'une phase liquide donne lieu à la formation d'un angle de contact qui peut dépendre de la nature de la surface et de la vitesse d'extraction. [Définition normalisée par l'ISO.] 2, record 1, French, - angle%20de%20mouillage%20sortant
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Un angle de mouillage sortant généralement mesuré est celui qui correspond à une extraction effectuée perpendiculairement à la surface de la phase liquide. Dans le cas d'une surface solide, les angles de mouillage rentrant et sortant vis-à-vis d'une phase liquide sont différents. La différence résulte de mesures d'angles effectuées dans des domaines de vitesse de pénétration et d'extraction, précisées par les méthodes d'essais. 2, record 1, French, - angle%20de%20mouillage%20sortant
