Abstract
An apparatus for characterizing dynamic stability of an emulsion includes a test vessel, a gap within the test vessel defined between a stationary surface and a moving surface; and an inlet for feeding an emulsion through the gap within the test vessel, whereby dynamic stability of the emulsion can be characterized based upon cycles of flow through the test vessel. Methods for characterizing dynamic stability are also disclosed.
