In this work, a radiometric method is used for the determination of the oil drop size distribution in agitated hydrocarbon-water systems. The influence of the counter position, the oil concentration, and the rotation speed of impeller were studied. An experimental parameter is proposed for t.he definition of the drop size distribution. It was observed that a n unsymmetrical distribution represents the drop size distribution better than the normal distribution law.
