- 71.86 mN/m
- Temp.:
- 20 °C
- Conc.:
- 1 g/L
- Conclusions:
- The surface tension of the test substance was determined to be: 71.86 mN/m.
- Executive summary:
The surface tension of the test substance at 20°C and a concentration of 1.0 g/L was determined to be: 71.86 mN/m.
Reference
First measurement:
First correction value, Sigma corrected 1:
First correction value ( sigma corrected 1) = 0.9402 * 76.43 mN/m = 71.859 mN/m
(76.43 mN/m surface tension of the testsubstance, first measurement)
Second correction value, sigma corrected 2:
sigma corrected 1 = 71.859 mN/m
sigma corrected 2 = -1.594 + 0.96115 * 71.859 mN/m + 0.00085 * ( 71.859 mN/m )2 = 71.86 mN/m
Result first measurement 71.86 mN/m
Second Measurement (after 30 minutes waiting):
First correction value, sigma corrected 1:
First correction value (sigma corrected 1) = 0.9402 * 76.56 mN/m = 71.98 mN/m
(76.56 mN/m surface tension of the testsubstance, second measurement)
Second correction value, sigma corrected 2:
sigma corrected 1 = 71.98 mN/m
sigma corrected 2 = -1.594 +0.96115 * 71.98 mN/m + 0.00085 * ( 71.98 mN/m ) * 2 = 71.99 mN/m
Result second measurement 71.99 mN/m
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. | The water solubility was determined to be 5.6 g/L in another test (see "Water solubility"). Thus, 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. | In this study, the value of the first measurement was stated as the main value. Thus, except for the arithmetic mean, the results are stated in demanded detail. | Yes |
