The experiments were conducted to investigate the oil-water two-phase flow through a Tercom flanged machined venturi meter device. The schematic layout of the multi-phase flow loop is shown in Fig. 1. The flow loop mainly consists of four centrifugal variable speed pumps (water and oil pumps), horizontal oil-water cylindrical gravity separator, fluid mixture catching tank, rectangular channel, and an inclinable flow loop. The two water pumps (WP) and two oil pumps (OP) were used for pumping fluids to the flow loop. Each pump can deliver fluid at a maximum flow rate of 5000 bpd with a delivery pressure of 8 bar gage. The horizontal oil-water separation tank consists of oil and water portions separated by a weir of 0.675 m height. The overall length of the cylindrical separator is 9.55 m and its inner diameter is 1.0 m. The length of the oil portion is 4.102 m, whereas the water section length is 5.448 m. The fluid mixture catch tank is of rectangular cross-section and is used to dump the return fluid mixture to suppress the fluid momentum. A transparent Plexiglas window is provided on the water side of the oil-water separator for visual observation of the multi-phase fluid mixture when it enters from the rectangular channel into the separator tank. The inclinable test section toggles on roller bearings at the base with inclination, θ, that can be varied from 0 to 90 degree from the horizontal position.
