A process and device for characterising complex fluids such as emulsions, gels, surfactant solutions and others and appliances resulting therefrom for characterising fluids on the basis of the process used. The process comprises simultaneously managing the device controlling the preparation process and the measuring device. The results of the measurements and the parameters controlling the preparation process are displayed on a common computer screen in real time, thereby enabling to establish a correlation between measurements, observation and control of the process. Two devices are disclosed, a first which is a single-function device for characterising complex fluids being manufactured, and a second, which is a multiple function device for use in laboratory formulation.
