Abstract
The oscillating jet method for determining the surface tension of pure liquids is shown to give results which are usually low by about 1 per cent. There is moreover no satisfactory criterion to enable a suitable jet to be chosen, results sometimes being low by 4 per cent. A simple procedure, replacing a more complicated one due to Addison (1943, 1945) enables the method to be used for measuring relative surface tensions of pure liquids.Keywords
