The invention belongs to the technical field of metering, and particularly relates to a three-phase online metering device and a metering method. A three-phase on-line metering device comprises a base, two identical metering tanks and a
control unit are arranged above the base, liquid inlet valves are connected between the top side faces of the two metering tanks respectively, liquid outlet valves are connected between the bottom side faces of the two metering tanks respectively, the liquid outlet valves are connected with liquid outlet pipelines,
water content analyzers are arranged on the liquid outlet pipelines, and
gas phase pipelines are arranged at the tops of the metering tanks. A
gas phase flowmeter is arranged on the
gas phase pipeline, a first pressure
transmitter is further arranged on the upper portion of the metering tank, a second pressure
transmitter is further arranged on the lower portion of the metering tank, the
control unit comprises a PLC and a display screen, and the PLC is electrically connected with the liquid outlet valve, the liquid
inlet valve, the first pressure
transmitter, the second pressure transmitter, the
water content analyzer and the gas phase flowmeter. According to the invention, through alternate
continuous measurement of double-tank metering, accurate metering of oil, gas and water in a single-well
oil transportation line with small liquid amount,
high water content and unstable gas amount is realized.
