Baker-Swerdloff Gas-Water Interfacial Tension by Temperature Calculator

σw=σ74+(T−74)(σ280−σ74)280−74\sigma_w=\sigma_{74}+\frac{(T-74)(\sigma_{280}-\sigma_{74})}{280-74}

Enter the required inputs, confirm the units, and run the calculator to solve sigma_w. Review the formula source and assumptions before using the result in engineering work.
