Electrical conductivities of steady-state, three-phase (macro)emulsions formed by the top (T), middle (M), and bottom (B) phases of the amphiphile/oil/[open quotes]water[close quotes] (i.e., aqueous 10 mM NaCl) system C[sub 4]H[sub 9]OC[sub 2]H[sub 4]OH/n-decane/water have been measured and compared with the predictions of equations from the literature or that we have proposed. In all cases the continuous phase could be deduced from the combination of experiment and theory, but less information was obtained about dispersed-phase structures. Three new conductivity equations and two new three-phase dispersion morphologies have been proposed. 30 refs., 8 figs., 2 tabs.
