The invention discloses a single well metering method which is characterized by including the steps: firstly, enabling a medium in a well to flow into a heating pipeline from an inlet pipeline, acquiring the initial temperature of the medium by a first temperature sensor on the heating pipeline, and transmitting the initial temperature to RTU through a
signal line; secondly, heating the medium bya first anti-explosion
flame-retardant heating device and a second anti-explosion
flame-retardant heating device on the heating pipeline, enabling the heated medium to flow into an output pipeline, acquiring temperature of the heated medium by a second temperature sensor on the heating pipeline, and transmitting the temperature to the RTU through a
signal cable; thirdly, calculating the
mass M ofthe medium by the RTU through acquired
temperature difference of an inlet and an outer and a formula M=Q / C / (T2-T1). The method cannot be affect by gas and is accurate in metering, the service life ofa metering device is prolonged when the device is used for the application places containing high sand and
wax, the metering device cannot be easily damaged and is novel in structure, reasonable in design, reliable in working, high in
automation degree, convenient to maintain and simple and convenient to install, and labor output is reduced.
