VISCOSITY-CORRECTED FLOWMETER

Fuente: WIPO "hemp"
A digital flowmeter (200) can include a vibratable conduit (215) with a mixture of a liquid and a gas flowing therethrough. A driver (210) can be connected to the conduit (215) and can be operable to impart motion to the conduit (215) where a sensor can also be connected and can be operable to sense the motion of the conduit (215). A digital transmitter (104) can also be connected to the conduit (215) and can include a void fraction determination system (260) configured to determine a gas void fraction of the mixture, a viscosity determination system (270) configured to determine a viscosity of the liquid in the mixture, and a flow parameter correction system (240, 250) operable to determine a flow parameter associated with the flowing mixture, based on the gas void fraction and the viscosity.
