My question is:
Does an ultrasonic flowmeter has good performance and accuracy when measuring crude oil flow with 10% gas volumetric fraction.
What I have seen in cataloges is that they can work with this kind of mixtures (even with solids), but it does not mention a gas maximum limit (permissible)
The fluid (crude oil) is at 260ºC and 5 kg/cm2 approx. And has low viscosity (near to 1 cP).
If the answer is no, I will appreciate any suggestion.
Thank you very much,
