Simultaneous Real-Time Measurement of Composition, Flow, Attenuation, Density, and Pipe-Wall Thickness in Multiphase Fluids
Researchers at Los Alamos National Lab have developed an apparatus and method for making simultaneous measurements of composition, fluid flow, and sound attenuation in a multiphase fluid flowing through a pipe in real-time, using a single device. Additionally, the apparatus provides real-time pipe-wall thickness monitoring for observing pipe corrosion. The use of short-duration frequency chirp excitation enables the apparatus to provided multiple levels of information in a single measurement.
