What does the conductivity rate of emulsions measure and how does it affect emulsion’s performance?
Conductivity is an indicator of accumulated salts, different anions and cations in emulsion and those demolish the most basic, rust prevention and emulsifieing additives of the emulsion and prevent them from operating. As conductivity rate increases those additives may be totally deactivated and in this condition emulsion is no more usable. Conductivity increase in emulsions is a result of water supplementing. For this reason, water used in preparation of emulsions should be chosen meticulously. Conductivity can be easily measured by conductivity meter which also has portable types. Conductivity rate for effective operation of emulsions without problems is 6000-7000 microsiemens /cm. Beyond those rates various problems may occur with emulsions; • Emulsion stability deteriorates • Some oil may separate from the emulsion, creamatization occurs and while emulsion is circulated in the system it can leave sticky remainders in machinery and items. • Emulsion causes oxidation problems.
