Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The paper presents a method for building a low-cost tensiometer to measure the interfacial surface tension between liquid and air. The project is based on common and well-known devices (analytical balance, Arduino micro controller, DC motor) and manufacturing techniques (CAD, 3D printing), mostly available in scientific and industrial laboratories. For the control of proposed devices the user-friendly software with graphical user interface was prepared in an open-source widget toolkit Qt with the use of programming language C++. The source code of the software and CAD models for printing components that allow to the self-build of the described tensiometer, were provided. Finally, the proposed measuring device was used to determine the surface tension of two types of ethylene glycol based nanofluids containing silicon nitrides and multi-walled carbon nanotubes. It was presented that proposed device could be successfully used with complex systems like nanofluids, even in case that commercially available equipment fails.
