ABSTRACT:
A flow meter for measuring liquid and gaseous flow rates in a mixed fluid ow has one or more helical fins (17) positioned between a cylindrical sleeve (10) and a core member (11). Centrifugal effects resulting from fluid flow though channels (29) defined between fins (17) sleeve (10) and core (11) separate liquid and gaseous phases, and the gaseous phase passes through bores (28) in the core member (11) to a central cavity (19) substantially closed at an upstream end (12). Liquid flow rate is measured in a channel (16) between the sleeve (10) and core member (11) after removal therefrom of gas, and gaseous flow is measured at an open downstream end (14) of the cavity (19). Flow rates may be measured using, for example, venturis (16,32,33,27,30,31). After measurement of the flow rates the liquid and gaseous phases are allowed to remix.
