Abstract
A flow measuring device capable of measuring at least parameters of a multiphase flow and to quantify an effect of decoupling on an interpretation of the parameters based on at least one characteristic of the multiphase fluid is disclosed. The flow measuring system includes various augmentations and enhancements to a Coriolis meter. The flow measuring system is capable of determining decoupling parameters that can be used to improve the output of a Coriolis meter. A method of retrofitting a Coriolis meter is also disclosed.
Claims20
A method of measuring a multiphase fluid comprising:
- providing a flow measuring device comprising at least one fluid-conveying flow tube conveying the multiphase fluid;
- measuring a first measured parameter of the multiphase fluid at multiple of instances over a period of time;
- measuring at least one additional measured parameter of the multiphase fluid at multiple of instances over the period of time;
- providing a processing unit for analyzing the first measured parameter and the at least one additional measured parameter;
- determining at least one decoupling parameter using at least one of the first measured parameter and the at least one additional measured parameter;
- and
- quantifying, using the at least one decoupling parameter in a decoupling model, an effect of variable levels of decoupling on an interpretation of at least one of the first measured parameter and the at least one additional measured parameter in terms of at least one characteristic of the multiphase fluid.
