Title:
MONITORING OF TWO-PHASE FLUID FLOW USING A VORTEX FLOWMETER
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003102511
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
In a method of monitoring two-phase fluid flow a vortex flowmeter is used to generate a signal indicative of the flow regime using the signal components and its fluctuations to determine the phase status of the fluid flow.
