Abstract: A probe for the measurement of the total pressure or temperature of a two phase wet gas flow is also disclosed. Embodiments provide a stem, a tip on the top of the stem, a cup serving as a shield is formed in the tip, a at least one tube or thermal element positioned within the cup serving as a measuring device for the incoming wet gas flow; at least one hole which passes through at least one wall of the cup; and a pressure changing device configured to accelerate the wet gas flowing around the cup. A method and system for the measurement of the total pressure or temperature of a two phase wet gas flow is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present probes are miniaturized, total pressure and total temperature, probes able to measure in wet gas conditions, two phase flow, inside pipes or compressor. When measuring in wet gas conditions, the probe measures accurately with a defined amount of liquid phase. Differently from standard probes, such probes are able to generate a gas expansion on the external side of the cup. This guarantees the appropriate purging of the liquid fraction of the flow from the cup, letting the total pressure measurement of the gas. The total temperature probe, beside the purging of the liquid collected, has a miniaturized cup in order to protect the measuring element from the direct impact of the liquid droplets. This permits to measure the total temperature of the gas, without influence of the liquid fraction of the flow.
