Abstract: The CEESI Nunn Wet Gas facility consists of a closedloop test stand with up to 650 horsepower that permits ow rates from about 83 to 620 ACMH. This corresponds to 3 to 23 m/s in 4-inch Schedule 80 piping. Pressures can range from 1,380 kPa up to 7,500 kPa (13.8 Bar - 75 Bar). Gas ow is measured using a calibrated 6-inch turbine meter, and the injected liquid is measured using one of 2 different Coriolis meters (1/2 and 2 sizes). The liquid typically used is Exxsol D80, but water, or a mixture of both can also be used. The rst test involved a 4-inch dual-chamber orice meter with the gas USM were installed in series. The second test incorporated a 3-inch dual-chamber orice and 2-path USM, both in series. In both cases the USM was located upstream to minimize, if not totally eliminate, any affect on the orice meter. In order to ensure that the ow prole is as realistic as possible to what would be seen in the eld, the non-intrusive USM was located upstream of the orice meter.
