Results

First test solution:

Concentration = 939.0 mg/L

Temp. = 21 °C, p = 0.998 g/cm3,

Age of the solution: 240 min

 

Surface tension of the solution

Value 1

30.9 mN/m

Value 2

30.9 mN/m

Value 3

30.9 mN/m

Value 4

31.0 mN/m

Value 5

31.0 mN/m

Value 6

31.0 mN/m

Arithmetic mean

30.9 mN/m

Standard deviation

0.1 mN/m

 

From 6 measurements, arithmetic mean 30.9 mN/m, standard deviation 0.1 mN/m

 

Second test solution:

Concentration = 983 mg/L

Temp. = 21 °C, p = 0.998 g/cm3,

Age of the solution: 330 min

 

Surface tension of the solution

Value 1

31.8 mN/m

Value 2

31.8 mN/m

Value 3

31.7 mN/m

Value 4

31.7 mN/m

Value 5

31.7 mN/m

Value 6

31.7 mN/m

Arithmetic mean

31.7 mN/m

Standard deviation

0.0 mN/m

 

From 6 measurements, arithmetic mean = 31.7 mN/m, standard deviation 0.0 mN/m

Temperature differences were considered by entry of the density.

Calculation

Arithmetic mean of two test solutions = 31.3 mN/m (0.6 mN/m)

The arithmetic mean was corrected by calibration           

Factor determined via water calibration = 31.7 mN/m

 

Conclusion

The test item has surface tension of 31.7 mN/m
