The interfacial tension of hydrocarbon + water/brine systems is one of the basic physical properties required for performing process calculations in petroleum, natural gas, and petrochemical industries. Interfacial tensions of 10 normal alkane + water/brine and hydrocarbon mixture + water/brine systems were measured by using a pendent drop instrument. The temperature and pressure ranges of measurements are (25 to 80) C and (1 to 300) bar, respectively. The effects of temperature, pressure, and salt content have been studied. It was found that the interfacial tension is sensitive to temperature and salt concentration but weakly dependent on pressure and salt species.
