Surface tension,one of the key influence factors to the chemical reaction and biological reaction,is an important physical property of liquid.The basic principle for measuring surface tension with different methods were described.The methods were capillary rise method,maximum bubble pressure method,Wilhelmy plate /Du Nouy ring method,drop weight/drop volume method,oscillating jet method,spinning drop method and pendent drop method.The progress and development of ADSA(Axisymmetric Drop Shape Analysis method)on pendent drop method were introduced especially in this paper. |
