Abstract The accuracy and stability of surface tension measurements are improved fitting the entire surface profile in the pendent drop method with an algorithm to determine the initial value for two-dimensional optimization. Moreover, the error function was modified by a weighting factor which reduced the influence of the droplet profile deviation point on the surface tension measurement. The full-profile fitting method was used to calculate the surface tension of water and ethanol at 25℃ and atmosphere. The final results show the standard deviation was reduced by 40% compared with the previous method, which verifies the stability and repeatability of this full-profile fitting pendent drop method.
