The error analysis in the determination of interfacial tension and contact
angle using sphere tensiometry was fulfilled using the total differential a
nalysis. The average error in interfacial tension for all three methods (th
e maximum force point method, two points method (F-0 and H-0/R) and process
curve method) is smaller than 0.05 mN/m and average error in contact angle
is smaller than 0.9 degrees. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
