The mean value, multiplied the calibration factor yields;

WF= W .F - 55.06 mN/m

 

Conclusions:
After correction with respect to the table given in the directive A,5. (Harkins-Jordan correction), the final value for the surface tension at 20⁰C is:

W = 53.9 x 10-3 N/m
Executive summary:

The purpose of the test was the determination of the surface tension according to 84/449/EEC Part A5 using the ring method and in accordance with GLP.
