    Abstract: A method is provided for determining the surface viscosity of a liquid in which a thread is formed from a drop of the liquid. The thread is lengthened and its minimum radius h0 is determined at multiple times between the thread formation and thread pinch-off. The minimum radius and associated time values are used to determine a linear relationship of minimum radius and time, with the coefficient of the linear relationship, or the slope X of the line in the linear relationship, corresponding to the surface viscosity μs of the liquid according to one of the following equations:
