Abstract

A system includes a pipeline and a valve mechanism defining an adjustable orifice. An actuator is coupled to the valve mechanism and operable adjust a size of the adjustable orifice. An upstream pressure sensor senses pressure of the fluid and an adjustment controller is communicatively coupled to the actuator and the upstream pressure sensor, wherein the adjustment controller actuates the actuator to adjust the size of the adjustable orifice based on data received from the upstream pressure sensor. A differential pressure sensor measures differential pressure across the adjustable orifice and a temperature sensor senses temperature of the fluid downstream from the adjustable orifice. A calculation controller is communicatively coupled to the adjustment controller, the differential pressure sensor, and the temperature sensor, wherein the calculation controller calculates flow rate of the fluid based on data received from the differential pressure sensor, the temperature sensor, and the adjustment controller.
