Abstract: The paper presents analysis of extensive measurements taken at NEL, K-Lab and CEESI wet gas test loops. Differential and absolute pressure signals were sampled at high frequency across V-Cone meters. Turbulence characteristics of the flow captured in the sampled signals were characterized by pattern recognition techniques and related to the fractions and flow rates of individual phases. The sensitivity of over-reading to first and higher order features of the high frequency signals were investigated qualitatively. The sensitivities were quantified by means of the saliency test based on back propagating neural nets. A self contained wet gas meter based on neural net characterization of first and higher order features of the pressure, differential pressure and capacitance signals was proposed. Alternatively, a wet gas meter based on a neural net model of just pressure sensor inputs (based on currently available data) and liquid Froude number was shown to offer an accuracy of under 5% if the Froude number could be estimated with 25% accuracy.
