Abstract
The aim of this paper is to give a correct interpretation to contact angles values that are obtained on porous surfaces by applying different methods. First a brief description of the physical meaning of the contact angle value is given, then a new methodology for the contact angle analysis by using the Wilhelmy balance is presented. Finally some limitations in the use of the Washburn’s equation are shown.
