Emulsified fluids are used in many industrial and consumer areas, for instance as products in the food or health industry as well as technical fluids in the machining industry. Metalworking fluids (MWF) are used as coolants and lubricants in metalworking processes. During their usage MWF emulsions may change their physical and chemical properties, which influences their performance and decrease the physical stability and therefore their lifetime. This article discusses results of turbidimetric spectra measurement of MWF emulsions to be used for process control, MWF quality monitoring and formulation purposes. Therefore, laboratory experiments have been carried out investigating the physical stability. Metal working emulsions have been treated and destabilised by different concentrations of salts. The destabilisation process was monitored by undiluted turbidity measurements and evaluated by the temporal change of the wavelength exponent. Thus, it was possible to determine specific conditions, for example a specific critical salt concentration for maintaining, stability of the MWF formulations.
