Abstract:
A method and system for measuring steam mass flow in a conduit by simultaneously measuring absorbance and variable steam patterns by light detectors receiving coherent light.

Claim (Index 15):
A system for measuring the velocity and mass flow of steam in a conduit comprising:\n a. At least on source for a first and a second coherent light beam arranged to pass through said conduit, said beams spaced a predetermined distance along the longitudinal axis of the conduit, at least one of said coherent light beams having a predetermined area; b. A first and a second light detector to corresponding to and receiving said first and said second coherent light beams, said first light detector operating for a first predetermined time interval and second light detector operating for second predetermined time interval. c. A light path of said coherent light beams having a predetermined distance; d. At least one of said light detectors configured to measure the absorbance of said at least one coherent light beam; e. said first and second light detectors configured to measure the difference in time between the arrival of a signal received by the first and second light detectors. f. Reporting the steam mass flow from said absorbance, said time difference, said light path distance, said predetermined spacing of said first and second light detectors, said light beam area and said interior diameter of said conduit. g. Triggering said coherent light sources and said light detectors and repeating the process until conclusion.
