Key Terminology
- Pound-force/inch [lbf/in]
- An imperial unit measuring surface tension as force distributed along one inch of liquid interface.
- Newton/meter [N/m]
- The SI unit for surface tension, representing force per length along a liquid boundary.
- Surface Tension
- A property of liquids describing the force acting along the interface to minimize surface area.
