Experimental coalescence time and time distribution studies of the coalescence of a single droplet at a plane interface are presented for four two‐component–two‐phase systems. The results have been analyzed by dimensional analysis and statistical analysis, and a correlation of coalescence time and coalescence time distribution with the physical properties of the system is proposed.
