Abstract: A method of determining the suitably of corrosion inhibitors, or other additives in the presence of corrosion inhibitor, for a given fluid environment. The method including determining if there is a difference in the presence or level of micelles between a fluid sample to which corrosion inhibitor has been added either alone or to which corrosion inhibitor and at least one additional fluid additive or additives have been added. The method can be used to determine the compatibility of fluid additives.
