  • Energy Correlation Flow Meters
    Publication number: 20230119021
    Abstract: A method for calibrating flow meters measuring fluid passing through a pipe wherein fluid pressures are detected and used to determine a volume or mass flow rate using an energy correlation calculation. The energy correlation calculation equates a change in potential energy for the flowing fluid with a change in kinetic energy for the flowing fluid. The energy correlation method of calculating flow rate offers lower measurement uncertainty than calculating flow by the Reynolds number versus discharge coefficient method.

  • Mud flow measurement system for wellheads
    Patent number: 11603724
    Abstract: A mud flow measurement apparatus is described which is capable of measuring mud flow rate and density at or near the wellhead during a drilling operation. A riser assembly includes a torus wedge meter and density detection elements which are interconnected with a flow computer. Flow parameters are measured for unscreened drilling mud exiting a wellbore.

  • Flow measurement insert and system for use with orifice fitting
    Patent number: 10794741
    Abstract: Flow measurement inserts replace standard orifice plates within single or dual-chamber orifice fittings. Flow measurement inserts are described which have insert bodies are shaped and sized to reside within the flow bore insert chamber of standard orifice fittings. An exemplary flow measurement insert includes an insert body with an opening formed therein which will align with the flow bore of the orifice fitting when the flow measurement insert is disposed within the chamber.

  • Flow measurement systems and methods
    Patent number: 10444044
    Abstract: A fluid flow measurement system for measuring the flow rate, density and/or other flow parameters of fluid flow through a flowbore. Additionally, the devices and methods advantageously provide for sampling of the fluid flow from different locations within the flow stream (i.e., center, proximate flowbore wall).
