    摘要: A method for operating a magnetic-inductive flowmeter includes: recording an electrode signal of an electrode voltage during a magnetic field alignment as measurement data; low-pass filtering the measurement data so that a first low-pass filtered evaluation signal is present; determining a first flow parameter from the low-pass filtered evaluation signal, which is compared with a first limit value; high-pass filtering the measurement data so that a high-pass filtered evaluation signal is present; determining a second flow parameter from the high-pass filtered evaluation signal, which is compared with a second limit value; separately subjecting the low-pass-filtered evaluation signal and the high-pass-filtered evaluation signal to a same evaluation; and assigning a two-phase flow to the flowing medium if at least one of: (i) the first flow parameter exceeds the first limit value; and (ii) the second flow parameter exceeds the second limit value. A related flowmeter is also disclosed.

    摘要: The present invention relates to apparatus for monitoring fluid flow in a pipe using electromagnetic velocity tomography (EVT). The apparatus generates a magnetic field within a pipe and when electrically conducting fluid, such as an aqueous phase, flowing along the pipe passes through the magnetic field, flow induced voltages are generated by magnetic induction which are detected by electrodes. The signals at the electrodes can be processed to produce images of the flow velocity profile in the pipe. The flow may be a multiphase flow which comprises fluids, and may comprise a mixture of liquids, or one or more liquids in a mixture with solids and/or gases. This invention may provide a multiphase flow metering apparatus which has a number of applications, in particular within the oil and gas exploration and production industry.
