Key result
Surface tension:
58.38 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 g/L

mean Value: 62.22 mN/m


Correlation factor 0.953

Value after second correction: 58.38 mN/m (Harkins and Jordan) 


 


Validity criteria for the measurement of the surface tension:

























Target condition according to guideline 92/69/EWG A.5:Actual condition according to the study:Validity criteria met:
A solution of the substance is prepared in distilled water. The concentration of this solution should be 90 % of the saturation solubility of the substance in water; when this concentration exceeds 1 g/ L, a concentration of 1 g/ L is used for testing.For the analysis a solution of the test substance in a concentration of 1.0 g 1/1 was prepared and a concentration of 1 g/L was used for testing. Yes
The measurement shall be made at approximately 20 °C and shall be controlled to within ± 0.5 °C.The stated temperature was 20 °C.Yes
The measurement results: individual readings, their arithmetic mean and the corrected mean; concentration of the solution should be stated.The received value was conected by two factors, first With the correction factor 0.953 (Quotient from experimentally value of water and cited literature value) and second by the Harkins and Jordan correction, as cited in the OECD guideline.Yes

 

Conclusions:
The value after second correction (Harkins and Jordan) is 58.38 mN/m.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the surface tension. The study was conducted in accordance with EEC Method for "determination of the surface tension", Directive 92/69/EEC, method A.5. The value after second correction (Harkins and Jordan) is 58.38 mN/m.
