A system for performing inline measurements of flow rate, density, and rheology of a flowing fluid is disclosed, comprising: (a) a rheology measurement subsystem comprising: a horizontal tube of internal radius r; means for measuring a velocity profile of a test fluid flowing through said horizontal tube at a distance xfrom its upstream end; and means for determining wall shear stress at a boundary between said flowing fluid and an inner surface of said horizontal tube; (b) a density measurement subsystem comprising: a vertical tube of internal radius rin fluid connection with said horizontal tube; a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure of said test fluid within said vertical tube at a location y; and, (c) a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure of said test fluid within said vertical tube at a location ydownstream from yand displaced vertically from yby a distance &#x394;h.

Inline rheology/viscosity, density, and flow rate measurement

A system of performing inline measurements of flow rate, density, and rheology of a flowing fluid. The system includes a rheology measurement subsystem, a density measurement subsystem, and a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure of the test fluid within the vertical tube at a location ydownstream from yand displaced vertically from yby a distance &#x394;h.
