The surface tension of a soda-lime-silica glass melt and some commercial glass melts incuding an E-glass, a TV panel glass, and a soft borosilicate was measured under various atmospheres. The atmospheres included dry argon, dry air and wet air with varying amounts of water vapor using the sessil drop and pendant drop arrangements. In general, the surface tension of melts decreased in the order: dry argon, dry air and wet air.
