A Wilhelmy plate is a device used to measure the surface tension of liquids. It consists of a thin, flat plate, typically made of a material that does not wet the liquid being tested (such as glass or platinum), which is partially immersed in the liquid. The key principle behind the Wilhelmy plate method is that the liquid will exert a force on the plate due to surface tension.
