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.
