ABSTRACT:
Multi-phase flow measurement in a conduit is accomplished by generating a spin in the flowing fluids and/or entrained solids, by which the centrifugal force separates the flowing components by density. The isolated flow in the central part of the conduit is measured. The denser isolated fractions flowing against the conduit wall can be measured. An overall composite parameter can be measured. These measurements can then be mathematically solved for their individual flowing components. The flowing components re-mix downstream of the apparatus.
