FlowTime Clock ...
What flowtime is it?

Time displayed is Flowtime.

Emerging flowmeter technologies include sonar, optical and multiphase.

Sonar  

Sonar flow technology provides a non-intrusive and robust way to accurately and repeatedly measure a wide range of singlephase and multiphased flows, including pulp slurry, sewage, and flows with entrained air.

Optical 

Optical flow metering is an emerging technology for natural gas and flare measurement. It uses optical laser technology to measure the actual speed of particles rather than the speed of sound through a medium (as in ultrasonic flowmeters) and conductivity (as in mass thermal flowmeters).

Multiphase

Multiphase flowmeters are used in oil and gas production to determine the mixture and amounts of oil, gas, and water coming out of the well.  This measurement used to only be possible after the fluids were physically separated.  Multiphase flow measurement began in the area of the North Sea when the prospective decline in production of the  North Sea  oil fields made it necessary to find a way to analyze the increasing amounts of gas and water that were becoming a greater part of the fluid from the wells. Several research projects were undertaken at that time to develop multiphase technology that could provide this analysis on fluids as they came out of the wells.
