Material surfaces can be modified to become superhydrophobic using different techniques. Test equipment is necessary to assess the effectiveness of a superhydrophobic surface against frictional drag force. Because the frictional drag force is very small, especially for a sample size to be tested at a laboratory level, a traditional water channel system is not suitable. As a result, a new test setup was designed and fabricated to measure the reduction in the skin frictional drag force on such a superhydrophobic metallic surface. Two different types of sensors were considered. The first one was a spring-based displacement sensor and the other was a spring-less displacement sensor. The developed test setup can have the flow speed with a range of Reynolds numbers up to 70,000 with respect to the test specimen. In this range, the change in the frictional drag force was measured for superhydrophobic surfaces. A microscope was also used to check any change in the air film on the superhydrophobic surface as the flow speed was increased.
