This document specifies the test methods for measuring the contact angle of powders. The sessile drop method is used for contact angles larger or equal to 90°. The Wilhelmy plate and liquid penetration (Washburn) methods are used for contact angles smaller than 90°. Time dependent effects are not considered in this document. The powders should not be soluble in the test liquid.
