Emulsion type resulting from phase dispersion coefficient.
| Phase dispersion coefficient, θ | Result |
| <0.3 | Light phase always dispersed | 0.3–0.5 | Light phase probably dispersed | 0.5–2.0 | Phase inversion possible | 2.0–3.3 | Heavy phase probably dispersed | >3.3 | Heavy phase always dispersed |
