Surface Tension Measurement Methods

Surface tension is the power or force that the particles or molecules are pushed together on the fluid surface and creates a layer. Due to the particle attraction in the surface layer by the liquid bulk, it is the tension of the liquid surface film which goes to decrease the surface area. The surface tension is assessing the consolidate energy which is present in an interface. The molecules of the fluid are attracting each other and the molecule interplay in the liquid bulk is balanced by the similar attractive force in every direction.
The Surface tension can be determined by the following techniques.
  • Drop Number Method
  • Capillary Rise Method
  • Drop Weight Method
  • Spinning Drop Method
  • Wilhelmy Plate Method
  • Du Noüy Ring Method
  • Bubble Pressure Method
  • Pendant Drop Method
