Results and discussion

Surface tension
Key result
Surface tension:
73.9 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Remarks on result:
other: undiluted pure DNT

Any other information on results incl. tables

Measurements were made using a commercially available tensionmeter. The test was performed with DNT (undiluted) at 20°C in duplicate. A calibration factor was determined by measuring the surface tension of water and comparison to data from literature.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The surface tension was calculated to be 73.9 mN.m-1 (two runs were performed and the value obatined was 73.9 mN/m in both runs).
