A phase‐splitting algorithm is coupled with the Rand method to improve its efficiency and reliability when the phase distribution is unknown at equilibrium. The coupled algorithm works well to give phase‐splits in the metastable region where most stability tests fail. Exhaustive tests show fine performance in the region near liquid‐liquid phase envelopes for systems with at least one partially miscible binary pair.
