Liquid pressure gradient in zero gravity

[Malverin]

Is there any data about such measurements?
I think, there has to be a pressure gradient in a floating liquid sphere due to surface tension.

Hi Malverin. Welcome to Physics Forums.

If you are neglecting the fluid's gravitation on itself, then the pressure will be uniform within the sphere. It will exceed the pressure outside by 2σ/R.
