摘要： Non-intrusive pressure sensors 14-18 for measuring unsteady pressures within a pipe 12 include an optical fiber 10 wrapped in coils 20-24 around the circumference of the pipe 12. The length or change in length of the coils 20-24 is indicative of the unsteady pressure in the pipe. Bragg gratings 310-324 impressed in the fiber 10 may be used having reflection wavelengths &lgr; that relate to the unsteady pressure in the pipe. One or more of sensors 14-18 may be axially distributed along the fiber 10 using wavelength division multiplexing and/or time division multiplexing.

摘要： A DC pressure and temperature sensor system for sensing and measuring the DC pressure and temperature of a production fluid (such as oil, gas and water mixtures) in tubing, such as tubing used to extract production fluid from a drilled site. The sensor system includes at least one fluid sensor, but sometimes two. Only one is needed if either the DC pressure or temperature of the production fluid (but not both) is provided by an independent measurement. In general, though, the sensor system includes: a first and second fluid sensor, the first using a first sensing material, and the second using a second sensing material in which sound travels at a rate that depends on the DC pressure and temperature of the second sensing material in a measurably different way than for the first sensing material. Each sensing material is coupled to the production fluid, preferably via a thin-walled membrane, so as to be at a DC pressure and temperature that is, preferably, the same as for the production fluid. Each fluid sensor is used to provide information about the speed of sound in its sensing material, and since the speed of sound depends on the DC pressure and temperature of the sensing material, in providing information about the speed of sound, each fluid sensor also provides information about the DC pressure and temperature of the sensing material, which is either the same as that of the production fluid or can be correlated to that of the production fluid.

摘要： A fiber optic strain gauge based flow rate measurement system includes two measurement regions located an average axial distance &Dgr;X apart along the pipe, the first measurement region having two fiber optic strain gauges located a distance X1 apart, and the second measurement region having two other fiber optic strain gauges located a distance X2 apart, each capable of measuring the unsteady pressure in the pipe 12. Signals from each pair of fiber optic strain gauges are differenced by summers to form spatial wavelength filters. Each spatial filter filters out acoustic pressure disturbances Pacoustic and other long wavelength pressure disturbances in the pipe and passes short-wavelength low-frequency vortical pressure disturbances Pvortical associated with the vortical flow field. The spatial filters provide signals to band pass filters that filter out high frequency signals. The Pvortical-dominated filtered signals from the two sensing regions are cross-correlated to determine a time delay &tgr; between the two sensing locations which is divided into the distance &Dgr;X to obtain a convection velocity Uc(t) that is related to an average flow rate of the fluid (i.e., one or more liquids and/or gases) flowing in the pipe 12. The invention may also be configured detect the velocity of any desired inhomogeneous pressure field in the flow.

Signals from each pair of pressure sensors 18,20 and 22,24 are differenced by summers 44,54, respectively, to form spatial wavelength filters 33,35, respectively. Each spatial filter 33,35 filters out acoustic pressure disturbances Pacoustic and other long wavelength pressure disturbances in the pipe 12 and passes short-wavelength low-frequency vortical pressure disturbances Pvortical associated with the vortical flow field 15. The spatial filters 33,35 provide signals Pas1,Pas2 to band pass filters 46,56 that filter out high frequency signals. The Pvortical -dominated filtered signals Pasf1,Pasf2 from the two regions 14,16 are cross-correlated by Cross-Correlation Logic 50 to determine a time delay τ between the two sensing locations 14,16 which is divided into the distance ΔX to obtain a convection velocity Uc(t) that is related to an average flow rate of the fluid (i.e., one or more liquids and/or gases) flowing in the pipe 12. The invention may also be configured to detect the velocity of any desired inhomogeneous pressure field in the flow. The invention may also be combined with an instrument, an opto-electronic converter and a controller in an industrial process control system.
