Demulsibility Tester

Demulsibility testers are instruments used in chemical analysis to determine the ability of a substance to separate from an emulsion. Emulsions are mixtures of two or more immiscible liquids, such as oil and water, where one liquid is dispersed in the other as small droplets.

Demulsibility testers are specifically designed to measure the time it takes for the emulsion to separate into distinct layers, with the oil or water phase separating from the other. This is an important property to evaluate in various industries, including oil and gas, petrochemicals, and lubricants.

These testers typically consist of a test cell or chamber where the emulsion is placed, along with a heating system to control the temperature. The instrument applies mechanical agitation or stirring to the emulsion to simulate real-world conditions. The separation process is monitored and measured using sensors or visual observation.

The demulsibility tester provides valuable information about the stability and performance of emulsions, as well as the effectiveness of demulsifying agents or additives. This data helps in quality control, formulation development, and troubleshooting in industries where emulsions are commonly used.

In summary, demulsibility testers are chemical analysis instruments used to evaluate the ability of emulsions to separate into distinct layers. They are part of the supply class Chemical Analysis Instruments in the supply group Instruments And Laboratory Equipment.
