Abstract
An apparatus for determining the relative flows of a two phase flow using differential pressure to obtain mass flow having a bend portion for concentrating the dense phase toward an outside of the bend; a perforated plate downstream of the bend for passing the portion of the light phase; a nozzle for channelling the portion of the flow having high density phase toward the center of a venturi throat which is positioned downstream of the perforated plate; and four pressure sensors strategically located for measuring pressure differences at various points in the flow meter.
