ALEXANDRIA, Va., June 18 -- United States Patent no. 12,326,353, issued on June 10, was assigned to Saudi Arabian Oil Co. (Dhahran, Saudi Arabia).
"Measuring flow rates of multiphase fluids" was invented by Vijay Ramakrishnan (Houston).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A multiphase fluid is flowed from a flow pipe to a U-bend. Several differential pressures of the multiphase fluid flowing through the flow pipe and U-bend are measured. A total flow rate of the multiphase fluid is determined at least based on the measured differential pressures. In some cases, flow rates of each of the phases of the multiphase fluid can be determined at least based on the measured differential pressures."
