ARRANGEMENT FOR DETERMINING THE PHASE DISTRIBUTION IN MULTIPHASE MEDIA HAVING AT LEAST ONE HIGHLY CONDUCTIVE PHASE

摘要

A grid sensor for measuring the phase distribution of a multiphase substance mixture with gaseous and liquid components in the presence of a highly conductive phase (such as salt water or liquid metal) employs 3 superposed electrode planes and an electronic measuring device. Application areas include determination of the liquid distribution and the fill level in containers, as well as the investigation of gas-liquid multiphase flows, in particular in pipelines, e.g. in petroleum production and processing.
