Mean reading                :   72.4 mN/m
Surface tension            = reading x calibration factor
                                         = 72.4 x 1.00
                                         = 72.4 mN/m
Temperature                  :   21.3 ± 0.5ºC
pH of sample solution  :   6.6

The linearity of the detector response with respect to concentration was assessed over the nominal concentration range of 0 to 20 mg/l. This was satisfactory with a correlation coefficient of 1.00 being obtained.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The surface tension of a 2.07 x 10-2 g/l solution of test material has been determined to be 72.4 mN/m at 21.3 ± 0.5°C. The test material was considered not to be a surface active material.
Executive summary:

The surface tension of a 2.07 x 10-2 g/l solution of test material has been determined to be 72.4 mN/m at 21.3 ± 0.5°C using a ring method specified in Method A5 Surface Tension of Commission Regulation (EC) No 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
