<p>Device and method for measuring flow rate and gas/liquid fraction in pipes and wells, in which the flowing medium consists of several phases, particularly for two-phase systems of the natural gas/oil type. The device is characterized by a pressure pulse generator (36) to generate pressure pulses having a frequency of maximum 100 Hz into the medium, and two or more pressure sensors (33a; 33c), to register the low frequent pressure pulse generated in the pressure pulse generator (36), in which at least one sensor is located at a known distance down-stream of the pressure pulse generator and a second sensor located up-stream of the pressure pulse generator at a second known distance, the pressure pulse generator and the respective sensors communicating with a control unit (35) that receive and process the generated pressure pulse and the registered pressure pulses to determine the flow rate of the medium and the specific acoustic propagation speed.</p> |
