ISO 9101:1987 Surface active agents — Determination of interfacial tension — Drop volume method The volume of a drop of an aqueous phase formed at the end of a vertical capillary tube is measured when it detaches from the tube in contact with the organic phase. The interfacial tension between two liquid phases is obtained by balancing the weight of the drop with the interfacial tension force supporting it and applying a correction factor. Then the interfacial tension is calculated from the volume of the falling drop, the outer capillary radius, the density difference between the two liquid phases and the acceleration due to gravity.  Published 1987-12 Edition : 1 Number of pages : 13 Technical Committee 71.100.40 Surface active agents

These methods are applicable to products in the form of powders, pastes and solutions. They are applicable only if so indicated in the specific standard for each product. As alkaline compounds react with Karl Fischer reagent, the methods give values which are too high in the case of samples containing alkali metal silicates, carbonates, hydroxides or borates.
