An automatic well test system (100) utilizes a two phase vortex separator 104 connected to a pair of Coriolis flowmeters (154, 166) to measure volumetric flow rates in three phase flow. Measurements are performed according to a process (P200) including an iterative convergence technique. Measurements are enhanced by the use of real time density and water-cut measurements from a water-cut meter (17...

Percentage concentrations of constituents or color components of a sample are determined using a spectral analyzer with a wide illumination spot size and detector. The analyzer irradiates the sample, picks up diffuse reflectance of individual wavelengths from the sample and spatially separates the diffuse reflectance into a response at individual wavelengths. The result is to simultaneously detect...

This machine consists of a shredding box (2) with independent motors (4) for two inversely rotating cutting rollers (8), which drive a central part (14) generating two different cutting edges. The central part can be moved when a force greater than the established level is applied to it, by the insertion of a metal bar or similar item. The machine has means for removing the shredded produc...
