<p>There is described a flow pipe (10) of metal for use in a flow meter for fluids, particularly multiphase fluids. The flow pipe has a main run (7) and one or more laterally extending channels (t) of small diameter relative to the main run. The internal surface of the main run that defines the flow area, is cladded with a corrosion and wear resistant metallic material (6) different from the metallic material of the remainder of the flow pipe. The material that encloses and defines the laterally extending channels (t) is of the same metallic material as the internal surface of the flow pipe. Consequently a continuous and integrated internal cladding is formed in the main run so that a fluid in the flow pipe (10) is in contact with the corrosion and wear resistant material only.</p> |
