	Is it measuring mass, or volume? What's in the pipe, at what pressure and temperature? How large is the pipe? __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856

	* it is measuring volume. Our fluid represent well outlet(oil+water+gas) with pressure less than 100psi and temperature less than 60 deg C. 2" pipe diameter.

	Three phase flow measurement is a speciality item. Your best bet is to refer to manufacturer's recommendation. __________________ If you don't know where you are going,you are bound to get there

	there is no such thing as a multiphase meter. You get estimated flows, you can "calibrate" around a specific mixture and rate, but you cannot get exact flows. A mass meter will give you excellent total mass flow, but not exact rates of each componet. contact these people. http://www.ceesi.com/
