A flowmeter, and a method of, measuring the flow of a multi-phase fluid is described. The flowmeter has a first pressure sensor located in a conduit for measuring a first pressure differential at a first location and a second response sensor spaced along the conduit for measuring a second pressure differential at a second location. The flowmeter includes pressure drop creation means for causing a drop in fluid pressure between the first and second locations, and a water fraction meter upstream of the first location or downstream of the second location for measuring the fraction of water in the multi-phase fluid. Various embodiments of the invention are described and in a preferred arrangement the first and second pressure measuring means are venturi flowmeters.

La présente invention concerne un débitmètre et le procédé correspondant, permettant de mesurer le début d'un fluide multiphase. Ce débitmètre comprend une première sonde manométrique située dans un conduit de façon à mesurer un premier différentiel de pression en un premier point et une seconde sonde à réponse éloignée de la première dans le conduit de façon à mesurer un second différentiel de pression en un second point. Le débitmètre comporte un organe créant une chute de pression de façon à amener une chute de pression fluidique entre le premier et le second point, et un capteur de mesure de fraction d'eau en amont un premier point ou en aval du second point de façon à évaluer la fraction d'eau dans le fluide multiphase. Le mode de réalisation préféré de l'invention utilise des débitmètres à effet venturi comme premier et second organe de mesure de pression.
