Abstract
An arrangement for metering the flow of fluid in a flowline or jumper for transport of hydrocarbons, wherein the flowline or jumper is subjected to internal and external loads and forces which are taken up by the wall of the flowline or jumper. A metering pipe loop is adapted for installation of a flow metering instrument, the metering pipe loop having an inlet and an outlet respectively connected in fluid flow communication with the flowline or jumper on either side of a plug effectively directing all fluid in the flowline or jumper into the metering pipe loop, whereby the flow metering instrument installed in the metering pipe loop is isolated from the path of load which is defined by the flowline or jumper.
