Experiments that were conducted in steam-water two-phase flow with a piping segment instrumented for making flow measurements are described. Results obtained with a triple-beam densitometer, a turbine flowmeter, and a drag flowmeter in the steam-water vertical upflow tests are presented. Comparisons between recorded turbine rotor velocities and velocities predicted by three turbine models are made, and two-phase mass flow models, applied to the recorded data, are compared with the mass flow metered into the steam-water system.
