  • Method for determining flow rates of phases of a two-phase mixture in a pipeline
    Patent number: 10234315
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to measurements of parameters of multiphase mixtures transported in pipelines. For determining phases flow rates of a two-phase mixture an unsteady pulsed flow regime of the mixture is formed in a pipeline to provide pulsating outbursts of a liquid phase at an outlet of the pipeline. Upon establishment of the pulsed flow regime at the pipeline outlet parameters of the liquid phase outbursts are measured and the flow rates of the phases are determined based on the measured parameters of the liquid phase outbursts.
