ABSTRACT:
A device for measuring flow rate of multiphase fluids such as oilwell effluents, containing liquid hydrocarbons, gas, and water includes first and second sections situated at a distance one from the other in the flow direction, each including a passage provided with structure such as venturis for inducing a change of speed therein, and respective means for measuring the resulting pressure differences, the pressure difference signals obtained in the respective sections being suitable for cross-correlation to produce a signal representative of the total volume flow rate.
