Abstract:
A contact angle measurement system includes a housing, a rock sample holder positioned within the housing, a fluid dropper attached to the housing, and a sonicator attached to the housing. The holder can support a rock sample whose contact angle is to be measured. The fluid dropper is positioned relative to the holder to drop a fluid droplet on the rock sample when the rock sample is supported by the holder. The housing can transmit the sound wave to the fluid droplet on the rock sample, and the sound wave can sonically remove the fluid droplet from the rock sample.

Claim (Index 21):
A method comprising:\n performing a plurality of contact angle measurements on a plurality of fluid droplets added on an outer surface of a rock sample supported by a rock sample holder positioned within a housing, the plurality of contact angle measurements performed one measurement at a time; and after performing a contact angle measurement on a first fluid droplet and before performing a subsequent contact angle measurement on a second fluid droplet, sonicating a medium within the housing to remove the first fluid droplet while retaining the rock sample on the holder.
