The surface tension is calculated from the method enables high precision and flexibility without difficult adjustment deviation between pressure maximum and minimum. The calibration is of the immersion depth. This is done by pumping air through a capillary carried out automatically with water. Thereby, the radius of the capillary into the liquid to be analyzed. The pressure within the bubble changes is taken into account.
