MULTIPHASE IN-STREAM MOISTURE METER Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01N21/85 G01N9/36 

FIELD: measuring equipment.

SUBSTANCE: multiphase in-stream moisture meter refers to the field of measuring equipment and can be used to determine the amount of water, contained in oil products, mutually immiscible with it, and free oil or natural gases. The moisture meter comprises of a body, a measuring device, a signal processing means of the measuring device, and means for presenting measurement results. The measuring device is made in the form of n-number of flow cells, located along the perimeter of the switching device, installed in the central part of the body. The flow cells include radiating and receiving matrices configured to emit and receive electromagnetic waves of the infrared emission spectrum, high frequency and ultrasonic radiation. The signal processing means of the measuring device is adapted to receive, process, control and transmit all kinds of signals, coming from the receiving matrices, to the means for presenting the measurement results.

EFFECT: creation of multiphase in-stream moisture meter operating in the watercut range from 0 to 100 percent and allowing to determine the volume content of components in inhomogeneous mixtures such as oil products-water-gas.
