Process measurement consulting.

Where should a sensor sit in a pipe carrying oil, gas and water? What will it actually measure there? We help plant and test-loop teams answer those questions before they specify an instrument or interpret a signal.

What we can help you measure

Phase fraction and distribution

A ring electrode averages a different part of the flow from a local probe. We compare sensitivity, wall material, conductivity and access to recommend a geometry for your line.

Deliverable Sensor specification and installation drawing.

Velocity and passage frequency

For intermittent flow, station spacing, clock synchronisation and sampling rate determine which bubbles can be matched. We size the acquisition system around your expected range of velocities.

Deliverable Station layout, timing requirements and a measurement campaign plan.

Existing instruments and data

When two sensors disagree or a reading drifts with temperature, we review the raw channels, calibration and reference measurements, then quantify how the discrepancy affects the reported result.

Deliverable Signal assessment, uncertainty estimate and recommended changes.
