2. Experimental devices
A large number of methods have been proposed for determining the surface tension of liquids over a wide temperature range. We present here just a few of the methods that are most frequently used to obtain accurate measurements. We discuss their merits and shortcomings, and give a few references that can be consulted for further details.
2.1 Capillary rise method
This is one of the most frequently used methods for determining surface tension, and was suggested by Sugden . In the capillary ascent method, the pressure difference...
