A method of fluid flow measurement includes a emitting a light beam into a pipe through which a fluid flows, the light beam illuminating the fluid flowing in the pipe, using a light detector array to detect light caused by scattering of the beam with particles found in the fluid, the light beam being outside a field of view of the light detector array, dividing the field of view of the light detector array into layers, and determining an instantaneous flow velocity in each of the layers as a function of signals transmitted from the light detector array in each of the layers.

The present disclosure provides systems, apparatuses, and methods for measuring submerged surfaces. Embodiments include a measurement apparatus including a main frame, a source positioned outside a pipe and connected to the main frame, and a detector positioned outside the pipe at a location diametrically opposite the source and connected to the main frame. The source may transmit a first amount of radiation. The detector may receive a second amount of radiation, determine a composition of the pipe based on the first and second amounts of radiation, and send at least one measurement signal. A control canister positioned on the main frame or on a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) attached to the apparatus may receive the at least one measurement signal from the detector and convey the at least one measurement signal to software located topside.

A fluid characteristic sensor includes a pressure loss generator to generate a pressure loss when the fluid flows, a first flow path connected to the pressure loss generator and through which the fluid and a working liquid that is a polar solvent flow, a partition wall provided in the first flow path to partition the fluid and the working liquid from each other, and a potential measurer connected to the first flow path to measure a flow potential generated when the working liquid flows.

The present invention relates to a viscosity measurement device. According to one aspect of the present invention, provided is a viscosity measurement device comprising: a housing which has an inlet port, an outlet port and a measurement space positioned between the inlet port and the outlet port; a magnetic body arranged in the measurement space; an electromagnet for moving the magnetic body; a position measurement part for measuring the position of the magnetic body; a flow rate measurement part for measuring the flow rate of fluid which flows in the measurement space; and a control part for measuring the viscosity of the fluid on the basis of the strength of a magnetic field generated by the electromagnet and the shear strain rate of the fluid which passes through the measurement space.

A method is provided for measuring density of a fluid by means of at least one at least sectionally curved measuring tube. The measuring tube is adapted to be flowed through by the fluid and concurrently to be caused to vibrate over a wanted oscillatory length, namely a tube length measured from a first tube end to a second tube end, a length which is greater than a minimum separation of the second tube end from the first tube end. According to the invention, among other things, also a tilt measured value representing an inclination of the at least one measuring tube in the static resting position relative to a local acceleration of gravity is ascertained, in such a manner that such represents an angle of intersection between a direction vector of an imaginary first reference axis (y-axis) and a direction vector of an imaginary second reference axis (g-axis). The first reference axis is so selected that it is perpendicular to an imaginary third reference axis (z-axis) imaginarily connecting the first tube end and the second tube end and points in the direction of a peak of the at least one measuring tube farthest from the third reference axis in the static resting position, while the second reference axis is so selected that it extends through a shared intersection of the first and third reference axes and points in the vertical direction, namely in the direction of the local acceleration of gravity. The tilt measured value is used together with a parameter measured value representing an oscillation frequency of the at least one measuring tube for ascertaining at least one density measured value representing the density of the fluid.
