Reference
Endpoint:
surface tension
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
November 1998-December 1998
Reliability:
1 (reliable without restriction)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Remarks:
The study was conducted in accordance with EC Directive, Part A, Methods for the determination of physico-chemical properties, A.5: "Surface Tension".
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.5 (Surface Tension)
Deviations:
no
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of method:
ring method
Surface tension:
72.2 mN/m
Temp.:
20 °C
Conc.:
1 000 mg/L
Remarks on result:
other: The mean value of the measured surfacre tensions was 77.0. The correction factor from the Harkins-Jordan tables is 0.938.

The surface tension of all measurements was constant (see following table):

15   77.0

The mean value of the measured surface tensions was 77.0. The corrected mean value (correction factor from the Harkins-Jordan tables: 0.938) is 72.2.

Conclusions:
The surface tension of the test item (1 g/l in distilled water) is 72.2 mN/m at 20°C.

Description of key information
