Definition of demulsibility in English English dictionary
- The ability of a fluid that is insoluble in water to separate from water with which it may be mixed in the form of an emulsion
- ability of an oil to separate from water, as determined by test method ASTM D 1401 or D 2711 Demulsibility is an important consideration in lubricant maintenance in many circulating lubrication systems
- ability of an oil to separate from water
- The ability of a fluid which insoluble in water to separate from water with which it may be mixed in the form of an emulsion The higher the demulsibility rating, the more rapidly fluid separates from water Demulsibility is sometimes expressed as the rate, in cubic centimeters per hour, at which a fluid settles out of an emulsion
- The ability of a fluid that is insoluble in water to separate from water with which it may be mixed in the form of an emulsion (395)
- the ability of a fluid which is insoluble in water to separate from water with which it may be mixed in the form of an emulsion The higher the demulsibility rating the more rapidly the fluid separates from water
- test time required for a specified oil-water emulsion to break, using ASTM D1401 test method Highly refined straight mineral oils have inherently good demulsibility Even after violently shaking an oil/water mixture, the oil separates and rises rapidly to the top of the water This is true also of other oils formulated for good demulsibility It is a desirable characteristic of oils such as circulating oils that must separate from water readily Demulsibility is thus a measure of a lubricating oil's ability to separate from water, an important consideration in the maintenance of many circulating oil systems
