This review examines surface tension measurement techniques, revealing strengths and limitations across various methods.

The review aims to assess various methods for measuring surface tension and their applicability in different fields.
Reviewed five major categories of surface tension measurement techniques.
Highlighted strengths and weaknesses of each measurement method.
Examined methods including spinning drop, micropipette, drop shape analysis, and capillary pressure measurement.
No single method is optimal for all surface tension measurements.
Spinning drop and micropipette methods accurately measure very low surface tensions (0.001 − 0.1mN/m).
Drop shape analysis techniques can measure static and dynamic surface tensions effectively with high accuracy (0.01 − 0.1mN/m).
Capillary pressure measurement methods are more commonly used in industries but have higher uncertainties (0.1 − 0.3mN/m).

Belghazdis et al. (2025) studied this question.
