Do you think it would be possible to setup parameters for a skimmer test people could do at home?

What I am curious about is could something off the shelf be added to x volume of newly mixed water, and a skimmer setup for a standard length to measure skimmate production?

It is possible, but somewhat unlikely to be convincing without a lot of careful planning and testing. Testing two skimmers at once on a real tank is likely to be most convincing, but they need to be set up carefully so t hat one is not downstream of the other.
