Patent ID: 7134318

Claim:
The method of discerning the composition or amount of entrained fluid in a fluid stream containing vapor and entrained liquid, comprising the steps of: a. obtaining a first representative sample of said fluid stream containing both vapor and entrained liquid in amounts representative of said fluid stream at prevailing temperature and pressure conditions; b. obtaining a second representative sample of gas in vapor phase from said fluid stream, under prevailing temperature and pressure conditions; c. vaporizing said entrained liquid in said first representative sample, while maintaining said vapor present in obtaining said first representative sample, so as to produce a homogeneous vapor phase sample; d. analyzing said second representative sample, providing vapor phase data on vapor in said fluid stream at prevailing pressure and temperature conditions; e. analyzing said homogenous vapor phase sample, obtaining homogenous vapor/liquid data on the composition of said fluid stream; f. comparing said vapor phase data and said vapor/liquid data, and discerning the differences thereof.
