<p>The method and the measuring system in accordance with the invention utilizes a measurement of electrical fields to determine the electrical characteristics of phases in a multiphase mixture constituting a fluid flow through a conduit. This is used as part of the determination of the phase fractions. Further, one uses time-varying signals from at least one pair of detectors for the electrical characteristics of the fluid, combined with the use of a cross-correlation for determining one or several velocities in the flowing fluid. Additionally, one or several pressure drops are measured across, or adjacent to, a narrow passage. By combining measurements of the electrical characteristics, with measurements of pressure drop, the fractions of all phases in the flow are determined. Combined with measurements of the velocities, the volume flow rates are calculated for the phases, and by further combining this with the mass densities of the phases, the mass flow rates of the phases are determined.</p> |
