BUCKET METER OF LIQUID AND ASSOCIATED PETROLEUM GAS IN A FLOWING GAS-LIQUID MIXTURE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC G01F3/28 

FIELD: measuring equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of measurement technology and can be used to measure the mass flow of crude oil and its components (oil, gas and formation water). distinctive feature of the solution is that the conditions counter design has been created that made it possible to organize separately from the measuring process in the separating body itself, flowing in the body of the measuring unit, of an efficient process of separation of the mixture entering the meter, providing, thus, the arrival into the buckets of the measuring unit of doses of a liquid mixture doses, purified from associated gas, characterized by a constant mass, namely: by providing the counter with separate from the body of the measuring unit, a separation body with elements for draining the separated liquid mixture from it into the buckets of the measuring unit, and placing in this separating body of funnels with a bump, forming a separation unit with it, and also by performing the funnel itself with perforation and fixing of it in the separation body with the possibility of forming in it a separate chamber between its inner surface and the outer surface of the funnel with the congestion zones and diversion of the separated products: the upper zone associated with the gas collector, zone for the accumulation and removal of gas separated from the mixture, and a lower zone for the accumulation and removal of the separated liquid mixture.

EFFECT: reduction in the measurements error and an increase in their reliability, characterized by the reproducibility of the measurement results, by increasing the efficiency of the separation process in the meter, ensuring the consistency of the mass of the liquid doses taken into account, measured by each bucket.
