A reference measurement apparatus for a multiphase flow meter comprising: a sampling and measuring chamber coupled to a sampling port via a sample transfer line for extracting the sample having at least one of the gas phase and the liquid phase from the multiphase fluid mixture flowing through the pipe section; a pressure and temperature regulation arrangement arranged to maintain the sample from the sampling port to the sampling and measuring chamber at a pressure/temperature substantially similar to the pressure/temperature of the multiphase fluid mixture flowing through the pipe section; and a second fraction measurement device arranged to estimate a linear attenuation related to the at least one of the gas phase and the liquid phase extracted from the sample, said linear attenuation being used to correct the estimated representative fraction for the at least one of the gas phase and the liquid phase of the multiphase fluid mixture.
摘要:
Both a flow meter system and method are provided for accurately measuring the percentage amounts of liquid and gas phases in a multiphase flow through a conduit when the liquid phase constitutes a small minority portion (e.g., less than about 20%) of the multiphase flow. The system includes a flow meter that includes a differential pressure sensor connected across a Venturi in the conduit, and a dual energy fraction meter, each of which is operably connected to a digital processor. The system further includes a pump connected to the conduit upstream of the flow meter that introduces at least one pulse of a known quantity of liquid, the pulse being sufficient in volume to temporarily increase the liquid phase by a detectable amount. After the liquid pulse is introduced into the multi-phase flow, the digital processor computes the changes in the percentage amounts of the liquid and gas phases which should have occurred as a result of the pulse, and compares the computed changes with the actual changes measured by the flow meter in order to calibrate the flow meter. The measured increase in the liquid flow is then subtracted from the total measured liquid flow to determine the actual percentage of liquid flow.

An apparatus (1) for measuring at least one characteristic value of a multiphase fluid mixture (13) comprises: a pipe section (20) having a main flow path through which the multiphase fluid mixture (13) flows, the main flow path comprising a throat (22) between an upstream part (21) and a downstream part (23) of the main flow path such as to generate a pressure drop between the upstream part (21) and the downstream part (23); a first sensing arrangement (28, 33, 29, 34, 35, 36) to measure a first characteristic value of the multiphase fluid mixture (13) flowing into the main flow path; -a channel (25) being positioned within the wall of the pipe section (20) such as to maintain similar operating conditions as in the main flow path, the channel (25) being coupled to the main flow path by an inlet (24) at the up-stream part (21), or the throat (22), and by an outlet (26) at the downstream part (23), or the throat (22), such that the pressure drop generates an aspiration effect diverting a sample of the multiphase fluid mixture (13) flowing through the main flow path into the channel (25), the channel (25) having an internal diameter (70) such that said multiphase fluid mixture sample flows in successive separated enriched phase samples (42, 52) within the channel (25); and a second sensing arrangement (30) to measure a second characteristic value of one of the phase of the multiphase fluid mixture sample flowing into the channel (25).
