A multiphase flow meter and data system including a volumetric flow meter, a water percentage meter, a multiphase density sensor, and a data center interconnected to the volumetric flow meter, the water percentage meter, and the multiphase density sensor. The multiphase density sensor has piping with a first transition section, a non-conductive section, and a second transition section. Two conductive plates are externally mounted to the non-conductive section, thereby forming a capacitor. The multiphase flow meter and data system provides a way to measure the percentages of water, gas, and/or crude oil that flow in a pipeline without the separation of phases on-line and in real time. The multiphase flow meter and data system allows reliable real-time measurement with the possibility to transmit results to a remote location without the presence of a technician at the measuring site.
