Abstract :
A small multi-phase flow loop has been developed to calibrate oil & water mixture composition sensors under various conditions. The loop features two precision gear pumps, piping manifold with a cooler and a gravity based separator. The pumps are controlled by a Linux PC based data acquisition card. This allows for an automated and compact calibration process.
