Abstract: Accurate multiphase flow measurement hinges on the ability to measure flow parameters such as component phase fractions and velocities with high accuracy. Since, the fractions and velocities are not always uniformly distributed in the measurement cross section, any measurement systems inability to account for spatial variations can result in a high degree of uncertainty in the estimated flow rate. This paper describes a method using an impedance based measurement system using which the profiles of phase fraction and velocity for a vertical pipe downstream of a blind tee can be measured and characterized. Using the same measurement, a modified cross correlation technique provides the vertical and horizontal components of the velocity in a swirling flow. This velocity information along with the phase fraction profile characterizes the flow profile completely. In addition to this analysis, the potential effect of swirl on differential pressure measurements is addressed briefly
