| abstract |
The invention relates to a system and a method allowing the measurement of the water content or the fraction of water in fluids and in a petroleum/gas-water mixture, especially for use in petroleum production facilities. The invention contains a standard tube (1), two flanges (2), a plurality of electrodes (3), a temperature sensor (4), and a PCS communications and processing card or module (5), where the plurality of electrodes (3) and the temperature sensor (4) are fitted around and along the diameter of the standard tube, in a helicoidal manner. The plurality of electrodes (3) are an arrangement of dual-measurement transducers, measuring capacitance and resistivity simultaneously. |
