Accurate oil-water measurement is a function of velocity. In situations with low velocity or inconsistent flow velocities, proper mixing for accurate measurement is unattainable, making real-time, in-line water-cut metering almost impossible in some applications and difficult in most.

However, the unique design of the ML Measurement Loop creates a consistent measurement environment and a constant velocity above 7fps, regardless of application, water concentration, fluid viscosity, or temperature. This velocity ensures fluid homogeneity and consistent oil/water droplet size ratio, guaranteeing highly accurate, repeatable measurement with the OWD Water Cut Meter.

A paper on water content determination in crude oil was presented at the International School of Hydrocarbon Management.
