Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 115 (Surface Tension of Aqueous Solutions)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Method: Pendant drop, Perstorp A1577 (correlates well to OECD 115), se company report no W09-2478.
A syringe was filled with approximately 10 ml of the solution and was attached to the instrument. The solution was mechanically expelled from the syringe so that it formed a drop on the tip of the needle. This drop was examined optically by the software and 20 images were collected at a rate of 1 image every 3 seconds. The surface tension was calculated by the shape of the drop and the result is expressed as a mean value of the 20 images.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of method:
other: pendant drop
