Problems solved by technology

However, the traditional downhole time-of-flight ultrasonic measurement device greatly changes the flow field to be measured. At the same time, when the measured fluid is oil with high viscosity, the surface of the transducer will adhere, which will affect the accuracy of flow measurement.

Abstract

The disclosed ultrasonic flow measuring device comprises: a measurement end with a transmission node, an electronic node, and a sound node; and a control end, wherein the former sound node comprises: a mechanical frame with a thin-wall cylinder clung to its inner wall, and a first and second energy transducer inclined on cylinder ends. Besides, the corresponding measuring method comprises: 1) arranging the measurement device into the target center; 2) measuring the sound reflux transmission time t1 and the downstream transmission t2 for delta t=ABS (t1-t2); 3) obtaining the liquid speed by v=c2delta t / 2L. This invention has well precision and fit to avoid oil pollution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a flow measuring method and a flow measuring device, in particular to an ultrasonic flow measuring method and a flow measuring device suitable for underground oil flow measurement. Background technique [0002] In downhole oil flow measurement, the flow measurement device is required to have a wide dynamic range and high measurement accuracy. Due to the high viscosity and non-conductivity of downhole crude oil, traditional turbine or electromagnetic flowmeters cannot be used, and ultrasonic flowmeters are a viable option. There are generally three types of ultrasonic flowmeters: Doppler ultrasonic flowmeters, transit time ultrasonic flowmeters, and phase difference ultrasonic flowmeters. The Doppler ultrasonic flowmeter requires that the measured fluid contains air bubbles or suspended particles; Document 1: Several improvements of the transit time ultrasonic flowmeter, the Journal of Shenyang University of Technology, Vol.24,...
