An oscillating flow meter that identifies one or more fluid flow characteristics of a multiphase fluid flow

摘要

A very low frequency vibratory flow meter (100) is provided. The very low frequency vibratory flow meter (100) includes a flow meter assembly (10) including one or more flow conduits (103A, 103B). The flow meter assembly (10) is configured to generate a very low frequency vibrational response that is below a predetermined minimum decoupling frequency for the flow fluid independent of a foreign material size or a foreign material composition. The very low frequency vibratory flow meter (100) further includes meter electronics (20) coupled to the flow meter assembly (10) and configured to receive the very low frequency vibrational response and generate one or more flow measurements therefrom.
