Open the CIPO recordAbstract From the Canadian patent
An apparatus and method for measuring the flow rates of each component of two-phase now consisting of a gas and a liquid or three-phase flow consisting of water oil and gas, including a first volumetric flow meter stage and second and third, momentum flow meter stages coupled in a series flow path with the volumetric flow meter stage and in which a velocity ratio between the gas and the liquid in the series flow path is maintained to be one. A processor calculates flow rates of the components of flow by solving volumetric flow and momentum or energy equations defining flow through the first through third stages utilizing a volumetric flow output from the first stage and momentum flux …

Why it's free to use
- Filed March 11, 1993 and granted February 2, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended March 11, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by March 11, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
