Abstract
A method of determining vapor pressure of a fluid is provided. The method comprises the step of providing a meter having meter electronics, wherein the meter comprises at least one of a flowmeter and a densitometer. A process fluid is flowed through the meter. A low-pressure location associated with the meter is provided. The pressure of the process fluid is adjusted until flashing is detectable at the low-pressure location. The true vapor pressure of the process fluid is calculated at an instant where flashing is detected.
