Abstract

The maximum bubble pressure method was used to obtain accurate surface tension measurements. The dependence of apparent surface tension value on bubble growth time was measured for times from several to longer than a thousand seconds. The static surface tension value was obtained by extrapolating bubble growth time to infinity. The dynamic surface tension, which is familiar in colloids, could not be directly obtained because of the high viscosity of glass melt. The effects of capillary tip material and shape were also examined. This method is applicable to melts with viscosity less than 10^3.5 dPa s. The reproducibility in the measurement was within a few percent.
