The surface tension of a commercial soda‐lime‐silica glass was measured in various atmospheres in the temperature range 500° to 700° C. The method of fiber elongation was used and its usefulness is illustrated. Water vapor was found to exhibit the most pronounced effect, causing a lowering from 315 to 205 dynes cm. −1 for a vapor pressure of 16 mm. Hg.
