| Zusammenfassung: | A method for measuring multiphase flows in a conduit using series of microwave antennae arranged around the circumference of the conduit so as to transmit microwave energy into, or detect propagated microwave energy in the conduit, the method including the steps of: transmitting microwave energy from each antenna in turn while detecting microwave energy at the non-transmitting antenna and integrating the results from all antennae so as to characterize the flow in the conduit. Apparatus for performing the method includes means for exciting each antenna in turn to transmit microwave energy into the pipe and means for detecting microwave energy at the non-transmitting antennae, and means for integrating the results from all transmitters to characterize the flow in the conduit. |
