Among them, the conductivity method is greatly affected by changes in the concentration of electrolytes in the water and is prone to drift. The capacitance method is easily affected by free water masses at high water content, resulting in reduced resolution and affecting the accuracy of actual crude oil water content detection.

[0011] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

Then, it flows through a capacitance sensor probe before exiting through the outlet pipe. The processing unit combines the values ​​returned from the three sensor probes to calculate the water content of the crude oil, and finally displays the required water content information on the screen. By combining conductivity and capacitance detection methods, and using a conductivity correction probe to balance the ion concentration in the measuring chamber and obtain a benchmark conductivity for calibration, the water content of the crude oil can be calculated comprehensively, achieving high-precision detection of crude oil water content and adapting to detection needs under various working conditions.

[0017] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-sensor water content detector, including a housing 3, with three measuring chambers 4 arranged inside the housing 3. A conductivity sensor 5, a conductivity correction probe 6, and a capacitance sensor 8 are fixedly installed counterclockwise in the measuring chambers 4. An inlet pipe 1 and an outlet pipe 9 are respectively connected to the two sides of the housing 3. A meter head 10 is detachably connected to the middle of the housing 3. A processing unit 11 and a display screen 12 are installed on the meter head 10. Crude oil flows through the conductivity sensor 5, the conductivity correction probe 6, and the capacitance sensor 8.

[0018] In this invention, crude oil enters the measuring chamber 4 through the inlet pipe 1, first flowing through the conductivity sensor probe. Simultaneously, the ion concentration in the lower measuring chamber 4 is balanced to achieve conductivity benchmark calibration. Then, it flows through the capacitance sensor probe 8 and exits through the outlet pipe 9. The processing unit 11 comprehensively calculates the water content of the crude oil based on the values ​​returned by the three sensor probes, and finally displays the required water content information on the display screen 12. By combining conductivity and capacitance detection methods, and using the conductivity correction probe 6 to balance the ion concentration in the measuring chamber 4 and obtain a benchmark conductivity for conductivity benchmark calibration, the water content of the crude oil is comprehensively calculated, achieving high-precision detection of crude oil water content and adapting to detection needs under different working conditions.

[0019] Reference Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, a connecting flange 2 is fixedly installed at one end of both the inlet pipe 1 and the outlet pipe 9. The connecting flange 2 allows for quick connection and installation of the entire testing instrument to the crude oil delivery pipeline.

[0020] In this embodiment, the two measuring chambers 4 are connected by a connecting hole 7.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the measuring chambers 4 are connected in a counterclockwise direction through the connecting holes 7. The crude oil entering from the inlet pipe 1 flows sequentially through the conductivity sensing probe 5, the conductivity correction probe 6, and the capacitance sensing probe 8. By connecting each measuring chamber 4 in a counterclockwise direction, it is possible to ensure that the crude oil flows quickly and thoroughly through each measuring chamber 4 and maintains stable contact with the sensing probes.
