Abstract

See full text

The disclosure generally relates to mass flow meters and more particularly relates to systems and methods for determining, among other things, a volumetric flow of a liquid portion of a multiphase fluid flow. In certain embodiments herein, an expected liquid density of a fluid flow at an operating condition may be determined. Such a determination may include receiving a measured density of the fluid flow and comparing the expected liquid density of the fluid flow to the measured density of the fluid flow. Further, a phase status of the fluid flow may be determined based at least in part on the expected liquid density compared to the measured density of the fluid flow.
