These tests are described and data using them provided. Two testing methods have been developed to a usable stage. Viscosity provides a more reliable measure of emulsion stability but water content measurements are more convenient and are largely used in this study. Measurements of water content and viscosity measurements show correlation to emulsion stability. Broken emulsions will form a foam-like material, called “rag”, which retains water which is not part of the stable emulsions.Īnalytical methods used to determine the final stability of the broken or unbroken emulsion were evaluated. Emulsions which have low stability will apparently break easily with chemical emulsion breakers. These factors complicate the development of a test. Emulsions are variable in stability ‐ this variability is largely dependent on oil type and degree of weathering.

The physics and chemistry of water-in-oil emulsions dominate the development of effectiveness tests.
