Abstract
A sampling module is for mounting in a pipeline with a multiphase flow meter and for receiving multiphase fluid from the pipeline. The sampling module includes: a separation chamber for receiving and separating a sample volume of fluid from the multiphase fluid, the separation chamber having a vertical extent when in use; a lower valve for opening and closing a lower fluid path between a lower end of the separation chamber and the pipeline; an upper valve for opening and closing an upper fluid path between an upper end of the separation chamber and the pipeline; a lower sensor for measuring fluid properties of the fluid in a lower part of the separation chamber; and an upper sensor for measuring fluid properties of the fluid in an upper part of the separation chamber.
