An Invariant Method of Measuring the Flow Rate of Wet Gas

  • MECHANICAL MEASUREMENTS
  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

One of the principal problems of modern flow metering, the measurement of flow rate and quantity of wet gas, is considered. This problem is especially critical under production conditions when information about the quantity of the dry component of the gas present in the form of a mixture in a flow of moist gas, is needed. The operating principle and structure of the invariant system used in the measurement of the flow rate of moist gas (except for gases with an abundance of droplet moisture) are presented. The functioning of the invariant system used to measure the flow rate of wet gas is based on the combined application of differential pressure-drop flowmeters and Coriolis flowmeters as well as simultaneous application of the principle of multichanneling and the method of partial flow metering. The results of a test of the proposed invariant system are presented and its metrological characteristics exhibited in measurement of the flowrate of wet gas are estimated. The test results obtained are critical for natural gas extraction, transportation, and storage facilities.
