Abstract
A system includes a pipeline for flowing a fluid therein and a multiphase sampler fluidly coupled to the pipeline. The multiphase sampler includes an inlet to receive a fluid sample of the fluid from the pipeline, a Tesla valve(s) coupled between the pipeline and the inlet of the multiphase sampler to direct a flow of the fluid sample into a sensing section, and an outlet to return the fluid sample back into the pipeline. The sensing section includes at least one sensor to determine a water-cut of the fluid sample. A method includes flowing a fluid through a pipeline, streaming off a fluid sample from the fluid into an inlet of a multiphase sampler, determining a water-cut of the fluid sample in a sensing section of the multiphase sampler, and directing the fluid sample back into the pipeline.
